I have created one logstash conf file and reading kafka topic and trying to send to different elastic search deployed on different servers. Can you please help, what I am doing wrong. Nothings happening. Below my code  
When I up the instance, data going to local elastic search only not deployed on abc:9200

```auto
input { 
  kafka { 
    bootstrap_servers => "localhost:9092" 
    topics => ["topic_1"]
    }	
}
output {
  elasticsearch { 
    hosts => ["abc:9200","localhost:9200"] 
	index => "contacttrace"
 }
}

```

I have no experience with this plugin, but does it really emit events with a field `[kafka][bootstrap_servers]`? If it doesn't, you'll have to `add_field => {"[kafka][bootstrap_servers]" => "…"} ` that yourself in the input.
