Hi everyone,
I got an error when sending output to elasticsearch.
The error message like this.

Could you provide the elasticsearch-output configuration inside your logstash config file(s)?

Hi Nick, here is my config
elasticsearch {
hosts =\> ["[http://x.x.x.x:9200](http://x.x.x.x:9200)"]
manage\_template =\> false
template\_name =\> "network-\*"
index =\> "network-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
document\_type =\> "%{type}"
document\_id =\> "%{fingerprint}"
user =\> "xxxx"
password =\> "xxxSys201^"
}

I think there might be a bug in the ES output within LS 5.x (we're currently investigating) -- for now, your password needs to be [encoded](http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp) so it's URL safe.
So your special character `^` would require your config to look like `password => "xxxSys201%5E"`
