We want to sync data from mongodb into elastic search using logstash. we created an config file as below

input {  
mongodb {  
uri =\> 'mongodb://demouser:demo@password%@localhost:27017/demodb'  
placeholder\_db\_dir =\> 'C:\logstash-6.5.1\logstash-6.5.1\vendor\bundle\jruby\2.3.0\gems\logstash-input-sqlite-3.0.4\lib\logstash\inputs'  
placeholder\_db\_name =\> 'logstash\_sqlite.db'  
collection =\> 'program'  
batch\_size =\> 5000  
codec =\> 'json'  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
index =\> "program" hosts =\> ["[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"]  
document\_type =\> "doc"  
document\_id =\> "%{id}"  
}  
}

We have problem with password because it contain special character @. So there is using of two @ character usage. Is there any way to seperate username and password as seperate one. Also Is above configuration is valid one?
