I had standalone ES - 2.3.4 , Logstash l;atest and Kibana - 4.5.3. - All of this worked with no issues in my local.

I upgraded to Alpha version 5 for ES and Kibana and also installed xpack, After this, Iam not able to push my data from logstash to ES.  
here is the config that I have:  
input {  
file {  
path =\> "C:/name.csv"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
}  
}  
filter {  
csv {  
columns =\> ["NAME\_ID","NUMBER","ND","NAME"]  
separator =\> ","  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
action =\> "index"  
hosts =\> "localhost"  
index =\> "01\_name-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
workers =\> 1  
user =\> "elastic"  
password =\> "changeme"  
}  
}

What does that mean, not push it how?

It is working now. Got a security exception. Added username,password.  
I used the logstash -f .. command. The console was blank with no output for about 5-10 mins. After that it displayed the usual "pipeline main started". I started this thread when the console was blank

Hey,

can you put data into the index you specified using curl? Like

```auto
curl -X PUT -u elastic:changeme http://localhost:9200/01_name-2016.08.05 -d '{ "foo" : "bar" }'

```
