New to using Elastic search and logstash. I installed elasticsearch and logstash on windows. Started Elasticsearch on localhost without any issues. I was able to get the response at port 9200 as expected.
I installed logstash next and tried to start logstash with elasticsearch as output and taking input from command line. Logstash starts ok but shoutsdown after few seconds before I could type anything for input. If I don't use elasticsearch for output then it works ok.
Here's the log output on the terminal window when I start logstash.
PS E:\logstash-7.4.2> bin/logstash -e 'input { stdin { } } output { elasticsearch {hosts => ["localhost:9200"]} stdout {} }'
