Hi
im having issues in setting up winlogbeats, i cant seem to get past the point ( currently following official logstash tutorial) of installing the kibana dash board

whenever i run this command:

scripts\import_dashboards.exe

i get the following error:

PS C:\Program files\winlogbeat> scripts\import_dashboards.exe
Failed to set the mapping: Put http://127.0.0.1:9200/.kibana/_mapping/search: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9200: connectex: No con

As this is more of a Winlogbeat question I suspect you'll get better help in the Beats group.

Error message: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Is Elasticsearch running, using port 9200 and reachable?

6

At the time yes, elasticsearch was running on my Ubuntu machine perfectly fine, along with logstash and kibana. Had to do a fresh install recently so im going to reconfigure everything and then get back to you and see if i have the same issues.

I've got everything up and running and i can confirm that elasticsearch is running using port 9200 and is reachable (Used curl to check)

By the way i am new to ubuntu and logstash so clear steps would be appreciated.

Doing curl http://<esip>:9200/.kibana from the machine filebeat is running on works?
You still get the same error?

Thing is, the TCP connect (that has been refused) is basically created by the OS. There shouldn't be a difference between curl and beats here.

its winlogbeats im trying to make work. The Elk stack is installed on Ubuntu and i have whereas ive got winlogbeats on a windows 7 machine. Is there more information you need from me ? i can get it if it helps.

So, from which machine did you run curl? Can you check Elasticsearch is reachable from your windows machine? Depending on the configuration in elasticsearch, it might only bind to the host machine (that is, it's only accessible from the ubuntu server).
