Hi,
I'd like to know how it works from Logstash 1.5.x if I want to send data from Logstash to Elasticsearch through a RabbitMQ server.
I understand the rabbitMQ river is deprecated since then so I want to know how to configure ES and Logstash to make it work.
In Logstash 1.4.2, I was using the elasticsearch\_river output plugin and the rabbitq\_mq river plugin in ES 1.3.4.
Does it work now if I use only the rabbitmq output plugin from Logstash 1.5.x not spceifying any ES informations ? How would it work ?
Can someone provide me with a sample, please ?

Typically you would have a second Logstash instance that reads from RabbitMQ and indexes into Elasticsearch. This is covered [in this guide about scaling and deploying Logstash](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/deploying-and-scaling.html).
