Do you have a firewall in place for your operating system?

On RHEL7/CentOS 7, for example, you need to add a firewall exception

```auto
# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5033/tcp --permanent
success
# firewall-cmd --reload
success

```

Then make sure that when you start logstash that those ports are actually listening:

```auto
netstat -an | grep 5033

```
