Unable to connect filebeat to elastic search host

[Shrivatsa_Rao]

Hi I am running filebeat docker image with following command
docker run docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:8.6.2 setup -E setup.kibana.host=http://localhost:5601 -E output.elasticsearch.hosts=["https://localhost:9200"] but it says connect: cannot assign requested address .

I have conformed that my Elasticsearch is running on http://localhost:9200

Let me know if I am missing anything, any quick help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps Take a look at this ... Localhost within your docker container is not localhost of the host/ server

Filebeat Docker - Elasticsearch Host Issue

Hi @mwsprotte Welcome to the community! Docker Networking Issue not Elastic... Another explanation Might be worth reading... if you are new to docker try using host.docker.internal docker run \ --net=elastic docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:7.17.4 \ setup -E setup.kibana.host=host.docker.internal:5601 \ -E output.elasticsearch.hosts=["https://host.docker.internal:9200"]
