Hello, I am on 1.0.7 is there anyway I can debug the connection between awx to logstash?

I have logging enabled and I don’t see any logs reaching Logstash, I do however see the test connection. I have tailed the logs on the docker containers but nothing is jumping out to me right now.

Also is adding ssl options to this in the pipeline? We use Searchguard with Elasticsearch which is a ssl layer (Elasticsearch offer their own version of this too) so we will need a pay to pass a ca to ES in order to authenticate.

nc -l -k -p 9999  
^^ You can use netcat and point tower at it to debug and see the log messages.

Sometimes the simple things go walkies, thanks for that.

Looks like its being refused due to SSL. ☹

So the netcat test worked but your production setup fails because the non-tower side expects SSL ?
