Elastic Stack Beats

Hi All,
I try to run elasticsearch, kibana and filebeat as docker containers but got a problem. I receive a connection refused message while starting filebeat container. My startup command is:

docker run docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:8.13.4 setup -E setup.kibana.host=127.0.0.1:5601 -E output.elasticsearch.hosts=["127.0.0.1:9200"]

The error message is:

Exiting: couldn't connect to any of the configured Elasticsearch hosts. Errors: [error connecting to Elasticsearch at http://127.0.0.1:9200: Get "http://127.0.0.1:9200": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9200: connect: connection refused]

Here is my .env and docker-compose.yaml files to start elasticsearch and kibana containers:

# Password for the 'elastic' user (at least 6 characters)
ELASTIC_PASSWORD=elastic

# Password for the 'kibana_system' user (at least 6 characters)
KIBANA_PASSWORD=kibana

# Version of Elastic products
STACK_VERSION=8.13.4

# Set the cluster name
CLUSTER_NAME=docker-cluster

# Set to 'basic' or 'trial' to automatically start the 30-day trial
LICENSE=basic
#LICENSE=trial

# Port to expose Elasticsearch HTTP API to the host
ES_PORT=9200

#KIBANA_PORT=80

# Increase or decrease based on the available host memory (in bytes)
MEM_LIMIT=1073741824

# Project namespace (defaults to the current folder name if not set)

As mentioned in the doc, docker-compose.yml is dfifferent. It is missing of commands, healthchecks etc.

Could you try with docker-compose.yml file which mentioned in the doc. It is multi node example but you can simply comment out the other services which you don't need.

Also you can refer single-node-cluster example to get services up quickly.

Hi, @ashishtiwari1993
This is docker-compose from doc but I disabled SSL between elasticsearch and kibana and removed other nodes. For now I replaced kibana and elastic hosts to my host machine IP and filebeat started:

docker run docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:8.13.4 setup -E setup.kibana.host=192.168.0.7:5601 -E output.elasticsearch.hosts=["192.168.0.7:9200"]
