Problems with ELK install

Hello! I'm running Kibana 6.2.1 on a Centos 7 server. I'm able to receive logs from this same server but not from my other servers, can you guys tell me what i'm missing? I'm sharing my config files and logs. Thanks in advance!

      add_field => [ "received_at", "%{@timestamp}" ]

    }
    date {
      match => [ "syslog_timestamp", "MMM  d HH:mm:ss", "MMM dd HH:mm:ss" ]
    }
  }
}

/etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash.conf

    index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
  }
}

/etc/kibana/kibana.yml

/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml

Now I started receiving this (/var/log/filebeat/filebeat) from kibana server

Can you telnet between a host that runs Filebeat to the host that runs Logstash? If not it could be a firewall or other networking problem.

@warkolm Thank you for replying, I've already tried that, telnet is working...

btw now the system is in "Breakdown", no changes from my side.

I'm talking to myself here :joy: So I had the elasticsearch service restarted and that fixed the issue above. Will monitor this and make sure it doesn't happen again.
So I'm back to my main issue, only localhost is able to send logs.

Earlier i was getting the same issue at my end and i just enabled the TCP/UDP port on servers and restart the all services after that everything was running fine.

please try.

@harshbajaj16 Im running with no firewall (firewalld is stopped)

Doesn't this means that the server is getting the messages from the other devices?

I'm pointing one Windows Server 2012 and one other Centos 7 server. (Plus the Kibana server itself) But im only seeing the kibana server under Discover.
