installing beats plugin

[meerkat2u]

My apologies, I've found the fault, I had a file 999-outputs.con.old as backup in the same conf.d directory which contained the original config i.e. 'host' param. Once deleted logstash service runs.

I'm now trying to test the beats plugin. Logstash is listening on the new beats port 5545 I defined, Nagios log server host firewall is open on that port but nothing but syslogs are showing up from my filebeats log stasher host. I will do some tcpdumps to try see where the breakdown is and let you know Thanks for your help so far.

Interesting, I'm looking forward to hearing back from you!

Were you able to make it work? Logstash has been deprecated and Beats sounds like the best way to go.

For clarification - Lumberjack was deprecated, was that what you meant?

Been looking into beats a bit and it does seem like a nice thing to work in Nagios Log Server.

I will discuss it with the developers to see what they have to say.
