Hello,
I've configured my Logstash server to accept SSL and my Winlogbeat configuration as well.
Logstash configuration:
> input {
> beats {
> port =\> 5044
> client\_inactivity\_timeout =\> 0
> ssl = \> true
> ssl\_certificate =\> /etc/logstash/server.logstash.crt
> ssl\_key =\> /etc/logstash/server.logstash.key
> }
> }
Winlogbeat configuration:
> output.logstash:
>
> hosts: ["server:5044"]
>
> compression\_level: 3
>
> ssl.enabled: true
>
> ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["C:\Program Files\Winlogbeat\server.logstash.crt"]
SSL worked for me using this configuration before... But a few days later, it stopped working. I can't figure out my problem.
I thought that maybe the problem is with the certificate, but it did work before... And I can't change the certificate that easily.
Thanks a lot!
