Hi,  
I am very new to ELK stack. Actually i want to configure Filebeat(Client) in a way that it can directly talk to ElasticSearch present on a WebServer and whose endpoint is exposed through a Reverse proxy.

If i specify the / , it is always trying to hit the port 9200 like :9200/

How can i specify the EleasticSearch(using Reverse proxy mapping) related Configuration in FileBeat.yml file?

Please help.

Thanks and Regards,  
RK

you can specify the port by adding `yourserver:80` to your host name.

And you can specify `path` too if needed. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/elasticsearch-output.html#path-option](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/elasticsearch-output.html#path-option)
