Hello guys, I need help to fix this: ``` mservice@sentinel:~$ sudo metricbeat setup Exiting: Couldn't connect to any of the configured Elasticsearch hosts. Errors: [Error connection to Elasticsearch http://localhost:5044: Get http://localhost:5044: dial tcp [::1]:5044: getsockopt: connection refused] ``` I think that is the firewall blocking, I'm using Ubuntu Server 18.04 and install ELK via repositories.if it is the firewall, how can I open the ports? ---

It looks like you have configured it to connect to Elasticsearch on port 5044, but 5044 is normally the Logstash port. Normally Elasticsearch listens on 9200 (http) or 9243 (https). Or if you intended to send the data to Logstash then double check your configuration to ensure that you have fully removed `output.elasticsearch` and any related config that's under it. ---

@andrewkroh thank you by report I reviewed my metricbeatfile.yml and was set output in both elastic and logstash... So I try running and: ``` mservice@sentinel:~$ sudo metricbeat setup Loaded index template Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable) Exiting: Error importing Kibana dashboards: fail to create the Kibana loader: Error creating Kibana client: Error creating Kibana client: can not convert 'object' into 'string' accessing 'setup.kibana.host' (source:'/etc/metricbeat/metricbeat.yml') ``` ---

That would mean you have an invalid value for `setup.kibana.host` in your configuration file. It needs to be a string. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.3/setup-kibana-endpoint.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.3/setup-kibana-endpoint.html) for examples and docs. ---

@andrewkroh thank by feedback, but I already had configured...I change to IP following the tutorial, and the error persists... ---
