What is the reason behind Django data updated to Elasticsearch when logstash container is removed?

1. Initially checked no index here - (empty) [http://localhost:5601/app/management/data/index\_management/indices](http://localhost:5601/app/management/data/index_management/indices)
2. docker kill - docker container ls - confirmed removed logstash container
3. [http://localhost:8000/paf/addressuploader/](http://localhost:8000/paf/addressuploader/) POST Django app uploaded sample addresses
4. [http://localhost:5601/app/management/data/index\_management/indices](http://localhost:5601/app/management/data/index_management/indices) - created:

So this confirms usage without logstash currently, then how to make sure

Django -\> logstash -\> Elasticsearch instead of

Django -\> Elasticsearch

This is my logstash.conf:

```auto
input {

    tcp {
        port => 5959
        codec => json
        mode => server
    }
}

filter {
    json {
        source => "message"
    }
}

output {
    elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["http://elasticsearch:9200"]
        index => "address*"
        manage_template => true
    }
    stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

```
