Hi I've setup filebeat on the machine A elasticsearch and kibana on machine B and logstash on machine C. When i try to send logs from filebeat to logstash i am getting a connection refused error in status. all the services are active. The indexes are not getting created in kibana  
This is my filebeat.yml

```auto
filebeat.inputs:

# Each - is an input. Most options can be set at the input level, so
# you can use different inputs for various configurations.
# Below are the input specific configurations.

# filestream is an input for collecting log messages from files.
- type: syslog
  enabled: false
- type: log

  enabled: true
  paths:
    - /var/log/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.log
  fields:
    type: elasticsearch_syslog
  fields_under_root: true
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - /var/log/kibana/kibana.log
  fields:
    type: kibana_syslog
  fields_under_root: true
output.logstash:
  # The Logstash hosts!!
  hosts: ["logstash_ip:5044"]
  bulk_max_size: 200

```

This is logstash conf file

```auto
input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
  }
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => "http://elasticsearch:9200"
    index => "%{type}%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    user => "elastic"
    password => " ******"
  }
}

```

When i curl to localhost:5044

```auto
root@ip-10-0-15-99:/etc/logstash/conf.d# curl http://localhost:5044
curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
root@ip-10-0-15-99:/etc/logstash/conf.d# curl http://localhost:5044
curl: (1) Received HTTP/0.9 when not allowed

```

same error when i curl from filebeat machine to logstash
