Filebeat to logstash seems OK. Logstash to Elasticsearch seems to be having authentication issues

Elastic Stack Logstash

Hi All,
Once again, please be kind. im 2 days into this and still getting round the learning curve.

ES 5.4.2 installed from tar.gz
filebeat-5.4.2-1.x86_64 Installed from RPM
logstash-5.4.3-1.noarch Installed from RPM

I have been trying to configure Filebeat -> Logstash -> Elasticsearch using this URL

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/advanced-pipeline.html

Here is my logstash first-pipline,conf file

input {
    beats {
        port => "5043"
    }
}
 filter {
    grok {
        match => { "message" => "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}"}
    }
    geoip {
        source => "clientip"
    }
}
output {
    stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

When i execute this against the tutorial data logstash fires up and I get a nice bit of json output in the rubydebug

          "agent" => "\"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/32.0.1700.107 Safari/537.36\"",

    "httpversion" => "1.1",
      "timestamp" => "04/Jan/2015:05:27:35 +0000"
}

My problem is when I move it across to output to elastic search and then try and query the data I get the following error message.

[log@bravo config]# curl --user USERNAME:PASSWORD -XGET 'localhost:9200/logstash-2017-06-27/_search?pretty&q=response=200'
{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "index_not_found_exception",
        "reason" : "no such index",
        "resource.type" : "index_or_alias",
        "resource.id" : "logstash-2017-06-27",
        "index_uuid" : "_na_",
        "index" : "logstash-2017-06-27"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "index_not_found_exception",
    "reason" : "no such index",
    "resource.type" : "index_or_alias",
    "resource.id" : "logstash-2017-06-27",
    "index_uuid" : "_na_",
    "index" : "logstash-2017-06-27"
  },
  "status" : 404
}

I read the following page but this did not seem to work for me either
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/logstash.html

I think its an authentication problem but I just cant nail it down.

Have you looked in the Logstash log? If it's having problems sending data to ES it'll tell you about it.

Hi Magnus,

Looking in /var/log/logstash-stderr.log i get the following

21:16:00.310 [Ruby-0-Thread-6: /opt/apps/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-7.3.5-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http_client/pool.rb:224] INFO  logstash.outputs.elasticsearch - Running health check to see if an Elasticsearch connection is working {:healthcheck_url=>http://localhost:9200/, :path=>"/"}

When I look in Kibana the index is also not created

Yeah, that looks like an authentication problem.
