Are you sure you don't have other Filebeat and/or Logstash processes running, perhaps in the background and/or on another machine? ---

@shaunak Thankyou for the response. I installed two beats as i want to index the data to two different indices at different cluster. So i installed two different beats and started them in background I killed both the apps still i am getting the data. and even after killing the logstash even i checked PID Regards ---

> [@shrikantgulia](#): > > even i checked PID I'm not sure what OS you are on but if you are on a Unix-y OS, can you run `netstat -an` to see what connections are being made to your Elasticsearch host (even after stopping all Logstash and Filebeat processes)? ---
