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"
> }
>
> ```
