I use the bitnami elk for gcp.  
I didn't installed x-pack and just want to pull logs from google pub/sub to es:

```
input{
 google_pub_sub {
  project_id => proj123
  project_id => "projects/proj123/topics/logs"
  subscription => "projects/proj123/subscriptions/logstash"
 }
}
output{
 stdout {}
 elasticsearch {
  hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
  index => "logs" 
 }
}

```

now, the logs index does not exists and does not created on 'Publish message' from gcp.

is there something i'm missing here?

Please don't post images of text as they are hardly readable and not searchable.

Instead paste the text and format it with `</>` icon. Check the preview window.
