Try this there is an error in the docs...  
Clean up the data stream and try again...

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

```

I provided a bit of an explanation here...  
[Could not index event to Elasticsearch DataStream - #4 by stephenb](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/could-not-index-event-to-elasticsearch-datastream/302722/4) and [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-not-indexing-date-to-the-filebeat-write-index-for-data-stream/306360/2)
