I just try to use logstash to ship the log(json formate data) to elasticsearch. But I get an strange error my elasticsearch work correctly and logstash itself work correctly,but together do not work. The input and filter part in logstash work correctly only the last step(write to elasticsearch) do not work My elasticsearch is 2.1.1 and my logstash is 2.3.2 my logstash config file like this: input { file { #path =\> "/Users/xueliang.xl/work/getter/2016-05-24/output/xiaoqu\_wuhan.json" path =\> "/Users/xueliang.xl/work/getter/testlog.json" start\_position =\> beginning ignore\_older =\> 0 type =\> "json" codec =\> "json" } } output { stdout{ codec =\> rubydebug } elasticsearch { index =\> "areastaticentity" document\_type =\> "areainfo" manage\_template =\> false } } the log data like this: {"province": "湖南", "sub\_area": "麓谷小区", "prop\_company": "长沙市保利物业管理有限公司"} {"province": "湖南", "sub\_area": "麓谷小区", "prop\_company": "长沙市保利物业管理有限公司"} {"province": "湖南", "sub\_area": "麓谷小区", "prop\_company": "长沙市保利物业管理有限公司"} Error like this: Attempted to send a bulk request to Elasticsearch configured at '["[http://127.0.0.1:9200/](http://127.0.0.1:9200/)"]', but an error occurred and it failed!
