This is some what same as

> [@Twitter Client Error "Connection Refused"](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/twitter-client-error-connection-refused/66205):

> Twitter client error {:message=\>"Connection refused - Connection refused", :exception=\>"Errno::ECONNREFUSED", :backtrace=\>["org/jruby/ext/socket/RubyTCPSocket.java:126:in initialize'", "org/jruby/RubyIO.java:871:innew'", "/root/logstash-5.0.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-twitter-3.0.3/lib/logstash/inputs/twitter/patches.rb:26:in stream'", "/root/logstash-5.0.0/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-input-twitter-3.0.3/lib/logstash/inputs/twitter/patches.rb:58:inrequest'", "/root/lo…

my logstash.conf is

```
input {
twitter {
# add your data
consumer_key => "x"
consumer_secret => "x"
oauth_token => "x"
oauth_token_secret => "x"
keywords => ["GameSpot"]
full_tweet => true
# below lines are commented
#use_proxy => true
#proxy_address => "http://ip"
#proxy_port => port
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["127.0.0.1:9200"]
index => "idx_ls"
}
}

```

And the error that i get is

```
10:28:39.716 [[main]-pipeline-manager] INFO logstash.pipeline - Pipeline main started
10:28:39.718 [[main]"GameSpot"}

```

Where do i have to specify proxy settings?

in my linux terminal when i execute the export command i can see  
declare -x http\_proxy="[http://ip](http://ip):port"  
declare -x https\_proxy="[https://ip](https://ip):port"

Please can someone suggest how can i fetch data from twitter?

Do you have a proxy in place? Most of the time I have seen this error, it's been caused by bad auth details.

Yes i do have a proxy behind.

I have also mentioned the same in the post.

I know the proxy ip and port but the problem is that i don't know where and how to make changes (environment variables, jvm and what all).

Just for information i have installed elk stack using vagrant on ubuntu.

Looking forward to your reply.
