How to stream log data from the Kinesis stream to Elasticsearch?
I have used [logstash kinesis input plugin](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-kinesis), but it doesn't seems to works.
This is my logstash configuration for the Kinesis stream.
```auto
input {
kinesis {
application_name => "test-kinesis"
kinesis_stream_name => "test-kinesis"
region => "ap-southeast-1"
profile => "test-kinesis"
initial_position_in_stream => "TRIM_HORIZON"
codec => cloudwatch_logs
id => "kinesis-rq-log-in"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ['test-kinesis-ip:9200', 'test-kinesis2-ip:9200']
user => "root"
password => "p@ssword"
timeout => 60
ssl => true
cacert => '/etc/elasticsearch/x-pack/trusted-cert/ca.cert.pem'
manage_template => false
index => "kinesis-rq-%{[@metadata][localtime]}"
document_type => "http"
id => "kinesis-rq-log-out"
}
}
```
I tried to follow the plugin document, but I still could not get the log data on Kibana with the index pattern "kinesis-rq\*".
Also, have tried to solve that following with "[https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-kinesis/issues/20](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-kinesis/issues/20)", but not found the useful solution.
Does anyone have any idea?
