Hi,

I am trying to have multiple input plugins one is tcp and other is filebeat on the same logstash instance, but I see logs are only coming from the tcp port not from beats servers, logs . Below is the input configuration we tried, logstash-version-2.3.2 on linux aws instance. Is it because of port conflict??

////  
input {  
tcp {  
port =\> 5044  
codec =\> fluent  
}  
beats {  
port =\> 5044  
}  
}  
////

Below is the error its getting,

///  
{:timestamp=\>"2016-05-27T15:12:50.123000+0000", :message=\>"Pipeline aborted due to err  
or", :exception=\>#\<Errno::EADDRINUSE: Address already in use - bind - Address already  
in use\>,  
///

Yes, you need to have the different inputs listening to different ports.
