I have an NGINX loadbalancer configured to use proxy protocol when sending to logstash instances on the backend. Here is my input config

input {  
tcp {  
port =\> 5002  
proxy\_protocol =\> true  
type =\> "cisco-asa"  
}  
}

this is what shows up in the proxy\_host and proxy\_port field.

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. There doesn't appear to be additional configuration option beyond setting proxy\_protocol =\> true.
