I was not able to see any data or any indexs in elasticsearch . I was using filebeat --\> logstash --\> elasticsearch

## **filebeat.yml**

filebeat.inputs:

-\> type: log

> paths:  
> - /var/log/hadoop/hadoop/hive/gc.log\*  
> document\_type: hivemetastore
> 
> - type: log

**logstash.conf**

input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5044  
}  
}

output{

if [document\_type] == "hdfs" {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["endpoint:443"]  
action =\> "index"  
index =\> "hdfs"  
}  
}

if [document\_type] == "hivemetastore" {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["endpoint:443"]  
action =\> "index"  
index =\> "hive"  
}  
}

}

I'm not sure where i was doing wrong. without if condition i was able to see logs.
