Hi!

We are currently running a full production deployment of an ELK pipeline. Our current setup:  
`Application machines -> Log-courier -> logstash -> ES -> Kibana`  
For reasons i wont go into here, we have to drop log-courier from Amazon Kinesis. Ideally it would be a fairly simple rip and replace job.

Any gotchas with connecting Kinesis pipe to logstash? Does anyone have this setup currently?

`Application machine -> Kinesis -> Logstash -> ES -> Kibana`
