Hi,  
I am trying to index data from an existing topic in kafka to elasticserach. I am using the kafka input plugin in my logstash pipeline . Providing the below  
bootstrap\_servers =\> "localhost:port"  
topics =\> "topic\_name"

But the index is not getting created in elasticsearch nor am i getting any errors in my logstash logs.
