Hey,

I am using Logstash in order to push documents to elasticsearch, and when trying to run logstash I'm getting the error:

I'm trying to figure out where does the port 443 configuration comes from, as I'm also trying http instead of https.  
My configuration file for logstash is:

```auto
input {
        file{
                type => "json"
                path => "~/home/ubuntu/json_try/json_try.json"
                start_position => "beginning"
                sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
        }
}

output{
        amazon_es {
                hosts => "http://my.dom:8001/scans"
                index => "snapshot-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
        }
        stdout{}
}

```

Is there something to change outside the config file or in it?

I've been able to solve by explicitly setting the port to be 8001 in the config file, like so:

```auto
amazon_es {
   hosts => "http://my.dom/scans"
   port => 8001
   index => "snapshot-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}

```

It solved the duplicate ports problem for me.

It is part of the [default configuration](https://github.com/awslabs/logstash-output-amazon_es/blob/b88c33f0dd8155435c6c90913fb8a961056cb4de/lib/logstash/outputs/amazon_es.rb#L126).
