Your log shows:
```
[2018-10-22T19:01:52,136][ERROR][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Failed to install template. {:message=>"Got response code '400' contacting Elasticsearch at URL 'http://localhost:9200/_template/datamobi'"
```
It gets a 400 error code.
- What do you get in the ES logs?
- What do you get when you call `GET /_template`?
- Why do you specify inside `output->elasticsearch ->index` the index name `datamobi_in_%{index_day}`, but you create a template for the index `template_test`?
- Why do you have an array inside `output->elasticsearch->template_name`? It should be a string according to documentation: [doc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html#plugins-outputs-elasticsearch-template_name)
