Novice:something wrong with configuration error

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

I am a beginner in ELK and this is my first try in running logstash.I followed the following step:

  1. Created a config file(ANSI encoding) in my local C:\logstash-1.5.2\conf\logstash_test.config.The contents are as below(I am just trying to run, I don't have much idea about the below contents):
    input { stdin { } }

filter {
grok {
match => { "message" => "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}" }
}
date {
match => [ "timestamp" , "dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss Z" ]
}
}

output {
elasticsearch { hosts => ["localhost:9200"] }
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
2) I ran the below command
logstash -f C:\logstash-1.5.2\conf\logstash_test.config
3) I am getting an error
io/console not supported; tty will not be manipulated
←[31mUnknown setting 'hosts' for elasticsearch {:level=>:error}←[0m
Error: Something is wrong with your configuration.
You may be interested in the '--configtest' flag which you can
use to validate logstash's configuration before you choose
to restart a running system.

Other details
Logstash version: 1.5.2
OS: Windows 7

Kindly help.

I replaced hosts with host and it moved ahead-startup completed.Now I pasted the following line into the terminal so it will be processed by the stdin input.

What's the state of ES(health) and does ES logs have anything while you run Elasticsearch.
