Hi,

I am using fluentd HTTP adapter to receive json data and dump it in elasticsearch.  
I can see packets are reaching elastic in n/w sniffer and there is no error in fluentd and elasticsearch log. But still I am unable to list the indices created by fluentd.

In tcpdump I can see following:

{"index":{"\_index":"API-2019.09.03","\_type":"fluentd"}}

{"url":"[http://xx.xx.xx.xx:6800/","retCode":200,"resSize":8195,"resTime":0.031908,"@timestamp":"2019-09-03T16:29:34+05:30","tag":"API.nc.portal](http://xx.xx.xx.xx:6800/%22,%22retCode%22:200,%22resSize%22:8195,%22resTime%22:0.031908,%22@timestamp%22:%222019-09-03T16:29:34+05:30%22,%22tag%22:%22API.nc.portal)"}

{"index":{"\_index":"API-2019.09.03","\_type":"fluentd"}}

{"url":"[http://xx.xx.xx.xx:6800/","retCode":200,"resSize":8195,"resTime":0.022068,"@timestamp":"2019-09-03T16:29:34+05:30","tag":"API.nc.portal](http://xx.xx.xx.xx:6800/%22,%22retCode%22:200,%22resSize%22:8195,%22resTime%22:0.022068,%22@timestamp%22:%222019-09-03T16:29:34+05:30%22,%22tag%22:%22API.nc.portal)"}

{"index":{"\_index":"API-2019.09.03","\_type":"fluentd"}}

Upon listing it does not shows any indices matching API-\*

Any idea what am I missing ? I am using elasticsearch 6.7

Fixed, I was using fluentd 3.0, which does not supported elasticsearch 6.x and 7.x.  
After upgrading fluentd to 3.5, I can see fluentd created elasticsearch index.
