You do not need to configure this in logstash, but rather in Elasticsearch and its mapping.

You also need to install the plugin first in Elasticsearch, see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/7.0/analysis-phonetic.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/7.0/analysis-phonetic.html)

The documentation contains exact examples how to configure the phonetic token filter. please take your time re-read the docs and ask more specific questions, if you hit another road block.
