, action_result: false", :backtrace=>nil}
```
my configuration file is as following:
```
input {
beats {
port => 5044
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["http://192.168.170.156:9200"]
index => "mylogstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
user => logstash_user
password => 123456789
}
}
```
also i defined logstash\_user in kibana console as following:
```
POST /_xpack/security/user/logstash_user
{
"password" : "123456789",
"roles" : ["logstash_writer","logstash_system"],
"full_name" : "Internal logstash User"
}
```
and
```
POST _xpack/security/role/logstash_writer
{
"cluster": ["manage_index_templates", "monitor"],
"indices": [
{
"names": ["mylogstash-*"],
"privileges": ["read","write","create_index"]
}
]
}
```
logstash cannot ship logs to elasticsearch and its log shows some errors.
any advice will be so appreciated.

There should be quotes around these
```
user => "logstash_user"
password => "123456789"
```

hi,
i change my logstash config as following
```
input {
file {
path => "/home/srahimi/files/15.txt"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["http://192.168.170.156:9200"]
index => "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
user => "logstash_user"
password => "123456789"
}
}
```
and the logstash log is as following:

Did you update the logstash\_writer role to have access to logstash-\* rather than mylogstash-\*?
