Is there any way to check the versions of installed logstash, kibana, filebeat and winlogbeat ?

Like to check elasticsearch version you execute: curl -XGET 'localhost:9200'

Logstash has a [_Monitoring API_](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/monitoring.html)

Not as _clean_ maybe but for Kibana you could do this

```
# curl -s http://localhost:5601/api/status | jq .version.number
"6.3.2"
```

That link didn't work, though I have got the solution on how to check the versions :

/usr/share/filebeat/bin/filebeat --version  
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --version  
/usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana --version  
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch --version

Don't know for winlogbeat

Right. That will work. I thought you might need to be able to do it over the network (although requests to _localhost_ don't really do that anyway...).
