Ηere is the start of my filter

```
filter {
if "paloalto" in [tags] {

metrics {
  meter => "events_paloalto"
  flush_interval => 60
  add_tag => "metric_paloalto"
}

...

```

And here is section of my `output`

```
if "metric_paloalto" in [tags] and "_grokparsefailure" not in [tags] {
    elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
        index => "raw_metrics-%{+YYYY.MM.dd.HH.mm}"
    }

  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

```

I am not getting anything on my `stdout` nor or my `elasticsearch` instance;

Any ideas?
