Unable to communicate with Elasticseach

Elastic Stack Logstash
6

the credentials are still outside of the elasticsearch output block. The user and password are specific to elasticsearch, not the output {} block.

So instead of

output {
    elasticsearch {
        hosts => [ "localhost:9200" ]
    }
    stdout { codec => rubydebug }
    user => logstash_internal
    password => changeme
}

you need:

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => [ "localhost:9200" ]
    user => logstash_internal
    password => changeme 
  }
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
