Hello,

I have enabled zk module in metricbeat yml file. Both are on same host. yet I am getting connection failure between the 2 as shown in Kibana. Please help. I have other modules like docker working with metricbeat.

## error: metricset.module:zookeeper @timestamp:March 17th 2017, 10:49:34.637 beat.hostname: (name removed) [beat.name](http://beat.name): beat.version:5.2.1 error:mntr command failed: connection to host 'localhost:2181' failed: dial tcp [::1]:2181: getsockopt: connection refused metricset.host:localhost:2181 [metricset.name](http://metricset.name):mntr metricset.rtt:1,371 type:metricsets \_id:AVrc9bW37Qa7kc61oN44 \_type:metricsets

------metric beat yml file:
