Hello, Tearing my hair out at this early juncture. I have setup Logstash/Elastisearch/Kibana on a Redhat Server and I have setup MetricBeats on my Windows machine. Getting the following in the metricbeat logs: 2018-03-28T11:54:12.901+0100 ERROR pipeline/output.go:74 Failed to connect: dial tcp 192.168.212.5:5044: connectex: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. 2018-03-28T11:54:26.802+0100 INFO [monitoring] log/log.go:124 Non-zero metrics in the last 30s {"monitoring": {"metrics": {"beat":{"cpu":{"system":{"ticks":8156,"time":8156},"total":{"ticks":10890,"time":10890,"value":10890},"user":{"ticks":2734,"time":2734}},"info":{"ephemeral\_id":"f65bdd7b-6ff3-4d85-badb-5fb97861d575","uptime":{"ms":691152}},"memstats":{"gc\_next":12256944,"memory\_alloc":10589952,"memory\_total":161017392,"rss":45056}},"libbeat":{"config":{"module":{"running":3}},"pipeline":{"clients":6,"events":{"active":1096,"published":51,"retry":13,"total":51}}},"metricbeat":{"system":{"cpu":{"events":3,"success":3},"filesystem":{"events":3,"success":3},"fsstat":{"events":1,"success":1},"memory":{"events":3,"success":3},"network":{"events":15,"success":15},"process":{"events":23,"success":23},"process\_summary":{"events":3,"success":3}}}}}} Non commented lines in config are as follows: [itsuser@elk tmp]$ sudo grep -v '#' /etc/logstash/logstash.yml path.data: /var/lib/logstash ``` http.host: "192.168.212.5" http.port: 9600-9700 path.logs: /var/log/logstash ``` This is what is logged: [itsuser@elk tmp]$ sudo tail /var/log/logstash/logstash-plain.log [2018-03-28T12:08:43,202][INFO][logstash.runner] Starting Logstash {"logstash.version"=\>"6.2.3"} [2018-03-28T12:08:43,287][INFO][logstash.config.source.local.configpathloader] No config files found in path {:path=\>"/etc/logstash/conf.d/_.conf"} [2018-03-28T12:08:43,288][ERROR][logstash.config.sourceloader] No configuration found in the configured sources.

It seems like a Logstash problem based on the missing listener on port 5044. Please post your question in the Logstash forum. ---

Hello, Was advised to move this here as logstash doesn't seem to be listening. Seeing following in logs and not sure is this to do with java permissions: [2018-03-28T16:53:21,561][FATAL][logstash.runner] An unexpected error occurred! {:error=\>#\, :backtrace=\>["org/jruby/ext/socket/RubyTCPServer.java:124:in `initialize'", "org/jruby/RubyIO.java:875:in`new'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/puma-2.16.0-java/lib/puma/binder.rb:234:in `add_tcp_listener'", "(eval):2:in`add\_tcp\_listener'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/webserver.rb:88:in `start_webserver'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/webserver.rb:44:in`block in run'", "org/jruby/RubyRange.java:485:in `each'", "org/jruby/RubyEnumerable.java:1067:in`each\_with\_index'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/webserver.rb:39:in `run'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:374:in`block in start\_webserver'"]} [2018-03-28T16:53:21,599][ERROR][org.logstash.Logstash] java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.jruby.exceptions.RaiseException: (SystemExit) exit Hopefully someone can offer some advice on where I'm going wrong. ---

Yes I have. Here you go.
