Hello,

At first, sorry for my english because, i'm french 🙂

I follow a tutorial to install ELK at this adress :  
[https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-elastic-stack-on-centos-7/](https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-elastic-stack-on-centos-7/)

I just have two centos VM. The first is the ELK server and the second have the filebeat configuration but the filebeat can't connect to logstash and i don't know why ?

the result of tail -f /var/log/filebeat/filebeat is :

2017-11-03T01:54:07+01:00 ERR Connecting error publishing events (retrying): dial tcp 10.0.15.10:5443: getsockopt: no route to host

Sounds like you don't have proper networking between the two hosts. Are you able to ping between the two hosts?

You should probably review the official Filebeat [Getting Started](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-getting-started.html) docs too just in case the tutorial you are following is missing something.
