Hi,

I would like to use Logstash to index data into Elasticsearch. I have to use VIP to connect to Elasticsearch cluster. My VIP already contains default port number. For example, my host name is "[myhost.com](http://myhost.com)" and I generated VIP using "[myhost.com:9200](http://myhost.com:9200)". So my VIp is "[myvip.com](http://myvip.com)" but it contains 9200 port. The problem I encountered is that Logstash automatically add ":9200" after my host list. My Logstash configuration file includes this line  
" hosts =\> ["[myvip.com](http://myvip.com)"]"  
but when I run Logstash, it automatically add ":9200". How to stop to add ":9200" ?  
If anyone knows solution, please help me!  
Thanks,  
Jiyoon
