Hi All,

I am given below twitter input and output code in my logstash-config file.

input {  
twitter {  
# add your data  
consumer\_key =\> ""  
consumer\_secret =\> ""  
oauth\_token =\> ""  
oauth\_token\_secret =\> ""  
full\_tweet =\> true  
keywords =\> ["XXXX"]  
}  
}

output {  
elasticsearch\_http {  
host =\> "localhost"  
index =\> "twitter24"  
index\_type =\> "tweet1"  
}  
}

Step2:  
logstash agent --debug -f logstash-simple.conf

I run above command in logstash

It run properly without any error.

Step3:  
curl localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v

I run this command in CURL  
But it's not showing any index which i given in twitter output config file.

Please help me with this issue.

Thanks,  
Dan.

What _does_ it say? Specifically regarding the Elasticsearch interactions.

Please disable the elasticsearch\_http output (which is deprecated in favor of elasticsearch with `protocol => http`) for now and make sure you get the data you expect with e.g. the stdout output so that we narrow things down to being a problem between Logstash and ES.
