Looks like a network connectivity issue. Have you verified that you can connect outside of Filebeat but on the same machine?

[aziz_007]

i am not using filea beat ima using logstash-forwarder

[magnusbaeck (Magnus Bäck)]

That shouldn't make a difference in this case. Anyway, logstash-forwarder is deprecated and should be replaced by Filebeat whenever possible.

i see but i could not get the problem if i don't add the filters and patterns it works but when i add them it give me that erreur please can you help me

[magnusbaeck (Magnus Bäck)]

Have you looked in Logstash's log to see if it reports any problems?

[aziz_007]

i have installed filebeat and the problem seems to be resolved and i added a new filter of zimbra under /etc/logstash/conf.d
and i added a pattern file in /etc/logstash/patterns
and filebeat is forwarding the files but how can i a see the new filed added by the filter
