Hi Logstash experts,
I've configured my logstash to use the amazon\_es output plugin and everything seems to be fine on configtest. I have region, aws\_access\_key\_id, and aws\_secret\_access\_key set correctly - I even started up with --debug on my logstash 2.3.4 installation and confirmed that the plugins were receiving the values I expected.
But when I start logstash and it begins sending logs to elasticsearch, I get the following errors:
[403] {"Message":"User: anonymous is not authorized to perform: es:ESHttpPost on resource: \*redacted\*"}", :class=\>"Elasticsearch::Transport::Transport::Errors::Forbidden", :backtrace=\>["/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/elasticsearch-transport-1.0.18/lib/elasticsearch/transport/transport/base.rb:201:in `\_\_raise\_transport\_error'"
Any pointers that would help me figure out where the disconnect is? Thanks!
Mike Ressler

You may need to ask on the Amazon forums, this isn't a core plugin nor a community maintained one sorry ☹

The plugin directs here for support. You should probably mention that to their developers. I'll file that as a bug against their documentation.
