I have installed ELK Stack .  
Now i am trying to ship logs through collectd to my ubuntu machines and Openwrt routers .  
But i am unable to do so .

This is my Server Logstash Conf.

input {  
udp {  
port =\> 25826  
host =\> "server-ip"  
buffer\_size =\> 1452  
codec =\> collectd { }  
type =\> collectd  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "server-ip:9200"  
manage\_template =\> false  
index =\> "collectd-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
}

and here is my collectd client config.

#LoadPlugin logfile
