Hello,

I have a Logstash pipeline that is set to poll an AWS SQS queue. The events show in the queue, and the pipeline data in Kibana shows events being received, the index gets created, however, the index remains empty. Any idea where to look to see what's happening? I'm specifying a specific index in the Elasticsearch output section of the Logstash config file.
