Hi

I've recently been trying to make it so Winlogbeat sends it's logs to Logstash but nothing is happening. Then I tried to send logs directly to Elasticsearch and it works. I don't know what the problem is.  
I've checked my firewall and there is nothing blocking it.

Logstash configuration:

input {  
tcp {  
port =\> 5001  
}  
}

filter {  
grok {  
match =\> ['TimeCreated', "Date(%{NUMBER:timestamp})"]  
}  
date {  
match =\> ['timestamp', 'UNIX\_MS']  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
index =\> ["winlogbeat"]  
}  
}

Logstash says in the logs that it's listening on port 5001 for tcp. I've also changed the Winlogbeat output to send with tcp to port 5001.  
I also tried to use beats instead of tcp but nothing differed, it still didn't get any input.  
To simplify I have not used any SSL, user authentication or anything else that might bother the connection.

Hi @student,

If there is an error you will probably see it in Winlogbeat logs, did you have a look to them?

Best regards

Hi

Thank you I didn't know that you have to specify that you want logs from winlogbeat.  
Is there a way to make winlogbeat send using UDP?

I've resolved it, the firewall wasn't opend for my subnet.
