Hay all

I am setting up and logstash server, but for extra security my manager wants me to put it behind an nginx proxy.

I got the logstash config sorted so that it will connect to localhost on an port only and send the logs to an text file (for testing)  
But when i try the host is being reported as localhost and not the server in question.

Any help is welcomed on this one
