Metricbeat - unable to retrieve license information from license server no available connection

Hi @Mary2022

Apologies, I am a bit confused about what are you trying to accomplish ... are you trying to monitor the performance of Logstash or send metrics data through Logstash or both?

Next part I am unclear on...
These settings are for centralized pipeline management which requires a Commercial (i.e. not Basic / Free) License. Did you have a commercial license?
