Hi,

New to elasticsearch I was reading this article:

> **[INSERT INTO LOGSTASH SELECT DATA FROM DATABASE
	  	 | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/blog/logstash-jdbc-input-plugin)**
>
> Ever want to search your database entities from Elasticsearch? Now you can use Logstash to do just that! In this blog we introduce the JDBC input, which has been created to import data ...

And it seems it is oudated now. I had to replace this

```
output {
    elasticsearch {
        protocol => http
        index => "contacts"
        document_type => "contact"
        document_id => "%{uid}"
        host => "ES_NODE_HOST"
    }
}

```

with this:

```
output {
    elasticsearch {
        index => "contacts"
        document_type => "contact"
        document_id => "%{uid}"
        hosts => ["ES_NODE_HOST"]
    }
}

```

(removed "protocol" and replaced "host" with "hosts")

Thanks
