Logstash-elasticsearch integration after installing x-pack

[harshavardan25000 (harsha)]

I installed x pack 5.2.0 on logstash, elasticsearch and kibana and left all the pieces untouched.
Created logstash user "logstash_internal " as per the instructions. But no luck when i tried to integrate logstash with elastic search..any inputs please?

Below is the snippet of my logstash config
output {
stdout{ codec => dots }
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
user => "logstash_internal"
password => "changeme"

}
}

thank you in advance

Do you get any error with this config?

Also, just to make sure your input is working you can try with a test file output like this:

file {
    path => "/path/to/target/file"
}
