Hi All,

I'm using the below configuration in logstash to populate the data on Elasticsearch 7.17.11 from logstash 7.17.12.

It shows pipeline started but no index got created .

```auto
input {
    jdbc {
        jdbc_driver_library => "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/jars/postgresql-jdbc.jar"
        jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:postgresql://<DBHOST>:5432/itsm_db"
        jdbc_user => "si_dev"
        jdbc_password => "Yh"
        jdbc_driver_class => "org.postgresql.Driver"
        tracking_column => "incident_number"
        schedule => "0 * * * *" # cronjob schedule format (see "Helpful Links")
        statement => "SELECT incident_number, site_id, sub_site_id, account_id, sub_account_id, closed_at, state, short_description, description, incident_parent_id from customerdata_incident"
        jdbc_paging_enabled => "true"
        jdbc_page_size => "300"
    }
}

filter {
	mutate {
		copy => {"id" => "[@metadata][_id]"}
                remove_field => ["@timestamp", "@version"]
	}
}
output {
	stdout { codec => "json" }
	elasticsearch {
		hosts => ["https://<elasticsearch fqdn>:443"]
                ssl => true
                ssl_certificate_verification => true
                cacert => "/etc/ssl/ca_dev_elasticsearch.cer"
                ecs_compatibility => disabled
		user => "elasticsearch-admin"
		password => "cr"
		index => "logstash_itsm_incident"
                ilm_enabled => true
	}
}

```

i ran it with debug mode. it shows the logs as follows.
