I am running logstash v6.8.1 on an aws ec2 linux 2 ami instance. I have installed logstash successfully.
I am using logstash to get logs from aws cloudwatch using this plugin https://github.com/lukewaite/logstash-input-cloudwatch-logs. I have installed the plugin successfully.
I am in /usr/share/logstash directory.
The command I use is sudo bin/logstash --path.settings /etc/logstash/ -f config/cloud_watch.conf
This is my cloud_watch.conf file
input {
cloudwatch_logs {
log_group => [ "/my/log/group" ]
region => "us-west-2"
access_key_id => "access_key"
secret_access_key => "secret_key"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "https://xxxxxxxx.us-west-1.aws.found.io:9243"
user => "elastic"
password => "my_password"
}
stdout { }
}
When I run this command I get this error message
Sending Logstash logs to /var/log/logstash which is now configured via log4j2.properties

The error message goes on for quite a few lines.
When I modify my cloudwatch.conf to this
input {
cloudwatch_logs {
log_group => [ "/my/log/group" ]
region => "us-west-2"
access_key_id => "access_key"
secret_access_key => "secret_key"
}
}
output {
stdout { }
}
I can see new logs coming into my log stream in my cli console. I know the plugin is working properly. BUT when I attempt to send those logs to my elastic cloud I get the error mentioned above. I have no idea what is happening.
