Hi,
I'm trying to make a ruby request to Elasticsearch using Logstash and ruby.
this is my filter part in the config file.
```
filter {
json {
source => "message"
}
}
ruby {
init => "
require 'net/http'
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'
require 'json'
"
code => "
puts uri = URI('https://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:9200/index/doc/_search')
Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port,
:use_ssl => uri.scheme == 'https',
:verify_mode => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE) do |http|
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new uri.request_uri
request.Content-Type = 'application/json'
request.basic_auth 'user', 'password'
request.body = '{\n \"query\": {\n \"term\": {\n \"Carriles.keyword\": \"DAI-CAI LOPEZMESA-P1-L0\"\n }\n }\n}'
response = http.request request # Net::HTTPResponse object
puts response.body
end
"
}
mutate { remove_field => ["message"] }
}
```
I need the response from the query to elastic. But I only get this message from ruby and I don't now what is wrong.

Not sure what the exception means, but you do know there is an [elasticsearch filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-elasticsearch.html) you can use, right?
