Hi, I'm new on ELK stack. In fact, I'm in the first steps of. I was following this tutorial [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/advanced-pipeline.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/advanced-pipeline.html) Everything was doing good until the step where I've to run the command: curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/logstash-2016.06.10/\_search?q=response=200' I got the message "curl: (6) Could not resolve host: 'localhost" But if I change the command to curl -XGET "localhost:9200/logstash-2016.06.10/\_search?q=response=200" (I changed the quote) I got this message curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9200: Connection refused I'm trying to run this on my PC with a Windows 7, btw. How can I fix that? Sorry about this newbie question. Let me know if you need any other information Thanks ---

> I got the message "curl: (6) Could not resolve host: 'localhost" Are you sure the single quote in your command actually is a straight single quote and not something else? Microsoft programs are known for screwing this up. > curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9200: Connection refused Elasticsearch isn't running, or it's running and not answering on port 9200 (which would be weird since that's the default). Alternatively you have a firewall blocking the access. ---

Hey, tks for your reply, A stupid question, Should I start elasticsearch first and then logstash? Cause, following the tutorial, nothing about start Elasticsearch was mentioned. Plus, I turn off all my firewall configurations and about the quotes, I input that again, certifying that it's the right one and I got the same error. Tks ---

> A stupid question, Should I start elasticsearch first and then logstash? Shouldn't matter since LS retries failing requests, but LS needs ES and not vice versa so starting ES first makes good sense. ---
