I have installed http plugin on my logstash 5.3.2, and am running the plugin with the below syntax.

input{  
http {  
id =\> "190190"  
port =\> "1000"  
}  
}  
The problem is that when I specify output as redis the logs are not being shipped to the redis db. When I tried to use file output the logs were being written in the log file. The below are the output settings which I am using. When I tried to do a postman GET I was able to see the GET in the redis db.

output {  
redis { host =\> ["", ""] password =\> "" data\_type =\> "list" key =\>  
"logstash" }  
}  
Thanks a lot for your help

Have you looked in the Logstash log for clues about why this isn't happening?

> host =\> ["", ""]

???

There were no logs indicating such problem. What I did to solve the problem is that I first outputted it to a file, then I created a new file which reads input from that file and outputs it in redis.

That solved the problem. Thanks a lot for your help @magnusbaeck
