I am using logstash in the SSL environment, in such a way that beats are connecting to logstash but logstash itself not sending data to elasticsearch. So I added the `file` output plugin, it seems the problem is not resolved

  beats {
    port => 5044
    host => "0.0.0.0"
  }
}

output {
  file {
    path => "/root/%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}.txt"
  }

  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["https://localhost:9200"]
    index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    user => "admin"
    password => "admin"

On further investigation i have found that logstash is working fine

`test.conf`

```auto
input {
	stdin {}
}

output {
	file {
		path => "/root/file.txt"
	}

	stdout {
	}
}

```

`/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f test.conf`

```auto
/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/awesome_print-1.7.0/lib/awesome_print/formatters/base_formatter.rb:31: warning: constant ::Fixnum is deprecated
{
       "message" => "hi",
      "@version" => "1",
          "host" => "ubuntu-s-2vcpu-4gb-blr1-01",
    "@timestamp" => 2020-04-24T12:49:15.347Z
}
hello
{
       "message" => "hello",
      "@version" => "1",
          "host" => "ubuntu-s-2vcpu-4gb-blr1-01",
    "@timestamp" => 2020-04-24T12:49:19.656Z
}

```

`cat /root/file.txt`

```auto
{"message":"hi","@version":"1","host":"ubuntu-s-2vcpu-4gb-blr1-01","@timestamp":"2020-04-24T12:49:15.347Z"}
{"message":"hello","@version":"1","host":"ubuntu-s-2vcpu-4gb-blr1-01","@timestamp":"2020-04-24T12:49:19.656Z"}
