So here’s my conundrum. Currently using a vm with a bunch of docker containers on it. Included in these is the ELK docker compose by deviantony on GitHub
Now I have a few laptops that I want forwarding logs to the server hosting the vm with ELK on it. The docker compose exposes 5044 and I want to forward via winlogbeat from the laptops… except it’s just not happening
Every time I get beats configged okay the test output comes back as unable to reach logstash.
The ELK stack is on a docker bridge network atm but 5601,9200 and 5044 are all exposed and listening. Beats fails to connect with both elasticsearch and logstash outputs configured.
My question is, has anyone managed to forward to a logstash container from beats? And if so how should I change my approach (worked with elastic for a couple of years but still dipping my toes into docker so explain like I’m 5 plz)
