Hi, Can someone show me whats wrong with the config here. I am trying to convert my logstast 1.5.4 config to logstash 2. When I run it with --configtest flag, I get message 'Configuration is Ok'. and when I run the logstash agent with this config, index is not created. Any help will be greatly appreciated. input { couchdb\_changes { db =\> "roles" hosts =\> ["127.0.0.1:5984"] sequence\_path =\> "seq\_files\roles\_couchdb\_seq" tags =\> ["roles"] } } output { if "roles" in [tags] { elasticsearch { document\_id =\> "%{[@metadata][\_id]}" hosts =\> ["127.0.0.1:9200"] index =\> "roles\_index" } } } Thanks, Imad. ---

Is there anything in the Logstash logs? What if you turn up the logging verbosity? What if you replace the elasticsearch output with a stdout output? ---

Please see the updated log on github. I am still getting the error with hosts =\> ["127.0.0.1:5984"]. ---

AFAICT the parameter is named `host` and not `hosts` in Logstash 2.0. What if you use `host` and drop the port number? ---

Do you mean my config should be like this: input { couchdb\_changes { db =\> "roles" host =\> "127.0.0.1" sequence\_path =\> "seq\_files\roles\_couchdb\_seq" tags =\> ["roles"] } } output { if "roles" in [tags] { elasticsearch { document\_id =\> "%{[@metadata][\_id]}" hosts =\> ["127.0.0.1:9200"] index =\> "roles\_index" } } } how would it get data from couchdb if port number is dropped? ---

> Do you mean my config should be like this: Yes. > how would it get data from couchdb if port number is dropped? There's a `port` option that defaults to 5984. ---

Ok that worked, many thanks for this. I am seeing deleted documents as well in my indices. Would these be coming from couchdb Do I need to filter those in logstash config file. How can I do that? ---

There is/was an issue where the document source is being sent with a delete command (this should not be so). This causes deletes to not work correctly. Please check to see the status of this at [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-elasticsearch) (I'm at an airport and don't have good wifi, or I'd do the digging myself). ---
