I'm trying to use the Elasticsearch input, but I'm getting an error when I start the plugin. Below is my config and the error. I'm using the internal `elastic` super user account and the same certificate bundle that is used by all my other Logstash output pipelines to connect to Elasticsearch.

```auto
input {
  elasticsearch {
    ssl => true
    hosts => ["Host.FQDN.com:9200"]
    ca_file => "/certbun.pem"
    docinfo => true
    user => "elastic"
    password => "changeme"
    index => "rickflairwoo-*"
    query => '{ "query": { "match": { "_id": "woo1"} } }'
  }
}

```

```auto
