Based on the [type], matched events should be stored under "iislogs" index, but it is getting stored into "logstash" index.

What am I doing wrong here ?

input  
{  
file  
{  
type =\> "IISLogs"  
path =\> "C:/IISLogs/\*"  
}  
}  
output  
{  
if[type] == "IISLogs"  
{  
elasticsearch  
{  
index =\> "iislogs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
}  
}  
else  
{  
elasticsearch  
{  
index =\> "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
}  
}  
stdout  
{  
codec =\> rubydebug  
}  
}

If you show an example message that gets stored in the wrong place maybe we can help. For example, show us the output of the stdout output.

It was my mistake. I had renamed type to Type. I corrected that and it worked fine.
