Do you want to send the logs to elasticsearch or logstash? I do not recommend to do both? Did you follow the getting started part about setting up Logstash or Elasticsearch? Are these (or at least one) services running?

Use syslog-ng to read local files on Ubuntu and pipe them up to Logstash (local or external).
