Hi.  
I'm trying to push data to Logstash via http. The same worked well when I pushed the data to Elasticsearch. To connect to Elasticsearch, I used this URL : http://:9200/indexname/typename and it worked fine.For Logstash I presume we dont have to specify the index name? And used the following URL : http://:5045  
It gives me a error in logstash saying Error : EADDRNOTAVAIL - BIND- Cant assign requested address.  
Also Logstash keeps checking for Locahost:9200 irrespective of specifying the right hostname in the yml.  
Is this normal?

Regards,  
Rahul PM
