Elasticsearch doesn't support ingesting data directly from Kafka, so it's not clear exactly what you've tried. Are you using Logstash as well? Perhaps [https://www.elastic.co/blog/just-enough-kafka-for-the-elastic-stack-part1](https://www.elastic.co/blog/just-enough-kafka-for-the-elastic-stack-part1) and the follow-up post can help you.

You can also look at several Kafka Connect projects [http://www.confluent.io/product/connectors](http://www.confluent.io/product/connectors) which are meant to send data from Kafka to ElasticSearch.
