Problem with beats/logstash parsing

Hi guys. I have a server running beats and another server that has a docker container running logstash. Both are at aws. It seems that the connection is being made. From my debug.log from logstash I see this.

{:timestamp=>"2016-03-01T22:14:56.545000+0000", :message=>"Beats input: decoding this event with the codec", :target_field_value=>"{"sql":"SELECT \"public\".\"apiv3_authorizations\".* FROM \"public\".\"apiv3_authorizations\" WHERE \"public\".\"apiv3_authorizations\".\"project_id\" IS NULL AND \"public\".\"apiv3_authorizations\".\"user_id\" IS NULL LIMIT 1","name":"Apiv3::Authorization Load","connection_id":47308764521820,"statement_name":null,"binds":,"duration":0.6,"request_id":"437da433-eaf9-4653-9ddb-e6b5dab1da50","source":"unknown","tags":["request"],"@timestamp":"2016-03-01T22:14:49.395Z","@version":"1"}", :level=>:debug, :file=>"logstash/inputs/beats_support/connection_handler.rb", :line=>"55", :method=>"process"}

This is definitely from my beats server. Although the output never is generated. Nothing ends up in kibana and nothing gets output to a file on the logstash server. Any help would be great.

Here is my logstash config

input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
    codec => json_lines
  }
}
output {
  file {
    codec => plain
    path => "/var/log/logstash/logstash.log"
  }
  elasticsearch {
    codec => json_lines
    hosts => ["awsURL:80"]
    ssl => false
    sniffing => false
    manage_template => false
    index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
  }
}

and my beats config

filebeat:
  # List of prospectors to fetch data.
  prospectors:
    # Each - is a prospector. Below are the prospector specific configurations
    -
      paths:
        #- /var/log/*.log
        - /var/app/current/log/logstasher.log
      encoding: plain
      input_type: log
      scan_frequency: 2s
    
  registry_file: /var/lib/filebeat/registry
output:
  ### Logstash as output
  logstash:
    hosts: ["myip:5044"]
    bulk_max_size: 1024
    path: "/tmp/filebeat"
    filename: filebeat
    rotate_every_kb: 10000
    pretty: true
logging:
  to_files: true
  # To enable logging to files, to_files option has to be set to true
  files:
    # The directory where the log files will written to.
    path: /var/log/filebeat
    # The name of the files where the logs are written to.
    name: filebeat.log
    # Configure log file size limit. If limit is reached, log file will be
    # automatically rotated
    rotateeverybytes: 10485760 # = 10MB
    # Number of rotated log files to keep. Oldest files will be deleted first.
    keepfiles: 5
  # Enable debug output for selected components. To enable all selectors use ["*"]
  # Other available selectors are beat, publish, service
  # Multiple selectors can be chained.
  #selectors: [ ]
  # Sets log level. The default log level is error.
  # Available log levels are: critical, error, warning, info, debug
  level: debug

Thanks fixed. Figured out my problem as well. I did not need "codec => json_lines" in my input.
