Hi!  
I'm trying to index a Twitter stream using twitter plugin of Logstash.  
This is my configuration file  
input {

```
	twitter {
	consumer_key => "omitted"
consumer_secret => "omitted"
oauth_token => "omitted"
oauth_token_secret => "omitted"
keywords => ["elastic","elasticsearch","kibana","lucene"]
full_tweet => true
		tags => ["twitter"]
	}
}

filter {

}

output {
elasticsearch {
index => "twitter_index"
		action => index
user => "alessandro"
		password => "omitted"
		hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
		template => "/home/alessandro/Scrivania/logstash-2.0.0/conf/twitter_template.json"
		template_name => "twitter"

```

}  
}

The stream is active if I watch at console, but the index doesn't exist in elasticsearch.  
What'is the problem?  
Same problem exists also I don't use template.  
Thank you.

Your config looks ok. Try running with `--debug` or `--verbose` to see what is happening?
