Turns out that I needed to move the http\_poller plugin which supports headers, but there are other issues that are blocking me from using LogStash. See [Bug in http\_poller: Environment variables don't always evaluate with http\_poller](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/environment-variables-dont-work-well-enough-with-http-poller/53070).
