Hello, newbie here. I'm just having a play with Elasticsearch, Kibana and Topbeats.

All of the above are on the same linux server with default configuration - APART from me changing the elasticsearch and kibana host from localhost to 0.0.0.0.

I can connect to Kibana fine and can do a quick console search \*.  
Kibana and Elasticsearch logs are clean.

Now, I've installed topbeats on the same server, again default configuration but pointing to elasticsearch instance 0.0.0.0:9200 rather than "localhost". When I start topbeats I'm getting the below over and over:

2018/04/09 12:51:11.794688 client.go:297: DBG ES Ping(url=http://0.0.0.0:9200, timeout=1m30s)

2018/04/09 12:51:11.799549 bulkapi.go:130: DBG Sending bulk request to [http://0.0.0.0:9200/\_bulk](http://0.0.0.0:9200/_bulk)

2018/04/09 12:51:11.800399 single.go:161: INFO backoff retry: 1m0s

I've tried with topbeats pointing at 0.0.0.0, the actual I.P and localhost.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I moved your question to #beats:topbeat

Anyway, you should try metricbeat instead as it's the replacer of topbeat.

Topbeat is EOL for quite some time. Metricbeat replaces topbeat with a many more functionality.

Which versions of Elasticsearch, Kibana are you using?

The `Ping` in the log indicates the beat can connect. But the bulk request is not accepted by Elasticsearch. Have you had a look at Elasticsearch logs?
