this is my simple logstash config for fluentd. I saw from documentation that  
fluentd running on port 8888.  
Also I could not output to Elasticsearch. and it says connection refused.  
can some one tell me what is wrong ? I am new to fluentd.

input {  
tcp {  
codec =\> fluent  
port =\> 8888  
}  
}  
output {  
stdout {}  
}  
------------flentd config  
\<match td._._\>  
@type tdlog  
@id output\_td  
apikey YOUR\_API\_KEY  
auto\_create\_table  
  
@type file  
path /var/log/td-agent/buffer/td

\<match debug.\*\*\>  
@type stdout  
@id output\_stdout

 @type http @id input\_http port 8888

\<match \*.\*\*\>  
type copy  
  
type elasticsearch  
host localhost  
port 9200  
include\_tag\_key true  
tag\_key @log\_name  
logstash\_format true  
flush\_interval 10s

Since there probably aren't that many people who know fluentd here, perhaps you can explain what you're trying to accomplish? How do you intend to connect fluentd and Logstash?
