Logstash altering defined Elasticsearch URL

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hello,

I have my Logstash configured with the following output:

output {
    hosts => ["http://myhost/elasticsearch"]
}

This is a valid URL, as I can cURL commands to Elasticsearch with it, such as

curl "http://myhost/elasticsearch/_cat/indices?v"

returns my created indices.

However, when Logstash attempts to create a template, it uses the following URL:

http://myhost/_template/logstash

when I would expect it to use

http://myhost/elasticsearch/_template/logstash

It appears that the /elasticsearch portion of my URL is being chopped off. What's going on here? Is "elasticsearch" a reserved word in the URL that is removed? As far as I can tell, when I issue http://myhost/elasticsearch/elasticsearch, it attempts to find an index named "elasticsearch" which leads me to believe it isn't reserved.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

EDIT:
I am using Logstash and Elasticsearch 5.0.0

EDIT2:
I have found the following issue:

It seems a similar thing happens when querying Elasticsearch from Kibana; elasticsearch is a Kibana proxy to Elasticsearch. Does this also happen to be the case with Logstash?

EDIT3:

Upon changing the endpoint URL to be

http://myhost/myes

Logstash is still attempting to access

http://myhost/_template/logstash

What might be the problem?

Try using the proxy config option.
Or proxy and path
Or hosts and path
