I am attempting to use the logstash HTTP input plugin with my Docker container that I am running Elk in.
I am currently using Docker Compose to run my stack and in trying to follow this page (below)
> **[Introducing the Logstash HTTP input plugin](https://www.elastic.co/blog/introducing-logstash-input-http-plugin)**
I have been unsuccessful in getting it set up. I have opened up port 8080 to use and everything else seems fine but when I push data through it gives me the OK but doesn't appear anywhere. The only thing I have been unable to do because of Docker compose is running log stash using this command line from the page.
bin/logstash -e "input { http { } } output { stdout { codec =\> rubydebug} }"
I would assume that this could be the cause of my issue but I am unsure how I can run this using docker compose.
