Okay, looks good so far. If you bump the log level to debug, Logstash will log all the configuration it loads. That might give clues about what's going on. ---

If those are the only logs you get you didn't enable debug logging properly. All of those logs are info, warn, error, and fatal. Otherwise look further up in the log. Unless things have changed recently it should tell you exactly what configuration it loads and hopefully also from where. ---

log.level:debug I have enabled the above property in logstash.yml file. Could you please let me know is there any other place to enable debug mode. ---

Did you try with a space before "debug"? ``` log.level: debug ``` ---

Hmm. If you despite that don't get any debug logs it might be an indication that Logstash is running with different startup options than you think, which could also explain why you're still getting an elasticsearch output even though you say you don't any such thing in your configuration. Exactly how are you starting Logstash? ---

Hmm. Then I don't know what's going on here. ---
