Hii I was using lumberjack input to receive logs from Logstash Forwarder . Then I also used Filebeat and liked some of its properties . Now I have one server that sends logs to Logstash using Filebeat and another server that sends logs to Logstash using Logstash Forwarder. So my input section looks something like this-

input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5000  
ssl =\> true  
ssl\_certificate =\> "/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt"  
ssl\_key =\> "/etc/pki/tls/private/logstash-forwarder.key"

```
    }
    lumberjack {
            codec => multiline {
                           pattern => "^\["
                            what => "previous"
                            negate => true
           }
            port => 5000
            ssl_certificate => "/etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt"
            ssl_key => "/etc/pki/tls/private/logstash-forwarder.key"
    }

```

}

But my logstash could not start . It says -

Default settings used: Filter workers: 2  
The error reported is:  
Address already in use - bind - Address already in use

If I use either only Filebeat or lumberjack things work fine . I need the two to work . How can i achieve the same ?????

You can not have 2 TCP based inputs listening on the same port. You need to assign one of your inputs to a different port.

Each of those inputs requires its own port. They both cannot be bound to port 5000. Change one of them to a different port.
