Here is my beats -\> logstash - es conf

Pay special attention the the pipeline reference, what is probably happening is the the ingest pipeline (the ngnix ingest pipeline) is not being called, thus the logs are not parse correctly

If you first point filebeat at elasticsearch and run  
`filebeat setup -e`

Then point filebeat to logstash and use this all the ILM, Templates, Pipelines, dashboards etc should work.

```

# beats->logstash->es default config.

input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
  }
}

output {
  if [@metadata][pipeline] {
    elasticsearch {
      hosts => "http://localhost:9200"
      manage_template => false
      index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}"
      pipeline => "%{[@metadata][pipeline]}" 
      user => "elastic"
      password => "secret"
    }
  } else {
    elasticsearch {
      hosts => "http://localhost:9200"
      manage_template => false
      index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][version]}"
      user => "elastic"
      password => "secret"
    }
  }
}
```
