I`m having the problem that Logstash reads the config and says oke but doesnt push data to Elastic/Kibana.

I have run the ELK stack on local first (windows) and that works perfect, but on my vps it doesnt want to push the data to Elastic/Kibana.

It`s a fresh install of ELK stack with Nginx on a fresh VPS container.  
Followed: [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-centos-7](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elk-stack-on-centos-7)

System:  
VPS centos7  
4GB

Logstash config:  
vim /etc/logstash/conf.d/data.conf

```auto
input {
    file {
        path => "/opt/data/data_*.csv"
        start_position => "beginning"
    }
}

filter {
    csv {
        separator => ","
        columns => [
            "hashed_contract_id",
            "expiration_date",
            "last_renewal_date"
        ]
    }
    date {
        match => ["expiration_date", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"]
        target => "expiration_date"
    }
    date {
        match => ["last_renewal_date", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"]
        target => "last_renewal_date"
    }
}

output {

How do you know Logstash is reading anything? Is the `stdout { codec => rubydebug }` output producing anything?
