Hi!

I'm new to ELK.... configured a Elasticsearch and Kibana, but my logstash doesn't work.... I'm get this message from client

`Exiting: Template loading requested but the Elasticsearch output is not configured/enabled`

My logstash/conf.d:

- 02-beats-input.conf

```auto
 input {
      beats {
        port => 5443
        type => syslog
        ssl => false
      }
    }

```

- 10-syslog-filter.conf

```auto
filter {
 if [type] == "syslog" {
    grok {
      match => { "message" => "%{SYSLOGTIMESTAMP:syslog_timestamp} %{SYSLOGHOST:syslog_hostname} %{DATA:syslog_program}(?:\[%{POSINT:syslog_pid}\])?: %{GREEDYDATA:syslog_message}" }
      add_field => ["received_at", "%{@timestamp}"]
      add_field => ["received_from", "%{host}"]
    }
    syslog_pri { }
    date {
      match => ["syslog_timestamp", "MMM d HH:mm:ss", "MMM dd HH:mm:ss"]
    }
  }
}

```

- 30-elasticsearch-output.conf

```auto
output {
  elasticsearch { 
    hosts => ["10.132.13.40:9200"]
    manage_template => false
    index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
  }

  stdout {}
}

```
