I have enabled https in elasticsearch by following this guide

Now, my elasticsearch is on https. The same does not work on logstash.

I have a conf file which would receive traffic at http port 9600 in logstash and logstash would forward it to Elasticsearch.

input {  
http {  
port =\> 9600  
response\_headers =\> {  
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin" =\> "\*"  
"Content-Type" =\> "text/json"  
"Access-Control-Allow-Headers" =\> "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept"  
}  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["[https://website.com:9200](https://website.com:9200)"]  
index =\> "MyService-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
}

I want to make the port 9600 set to https.

How can I achieve this?
