Logstash error 403 with a remote elasticsearch instance

Hi,

I have a logstash config which works fine with my local Elasticsearch instance but when i try to push to a remote instance config gives error at startup as follows:

Using default mapping template

I have default template settings.

My input looks like this

input { 
	beats {
		port => 5044
	}
}


filter {
### I have tried with the simplest filter too
}


output {
   elasticsearch {
         hosts => ["https://mysite.com:443"]
         user => "logstash_user"
         password => "myp@ssword"
         index => "offline-%{[name]}-%{[logtype]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
		 document_id => "%{[@metadata][fingerprint]}"
      }
}

Please share what is wrong here?

Thanks

Usually means access to a resource is being denied.... is the user allowed to create, edit the template if it exists ?

Thanks @zx8086, for your response, Can you please tell how can i find it out?

Does the specified User & Password have permission to write to the index specified.
