Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)) - different behavior - ES cloud

Elastic Stack Logstash

We read most of what have been written about the topic, we tried many permutations and we can't successfully make logstash to work:

Here is the console output
start -----------------
C:\Deleteme\es_logstash>C:\Software\ES\logstash-7.3.1\bin\logstash -f "/Deleteme/data.conf"
Thread.exclusive is deprecated, use Thread::Mutex

end ------------------

We also tried port 9200
We also tried without https://

Here is the sample data
start -----------------
badge,firstname,lastname
1,john,smith
2,mary,cooper
end ------------------

Here is the configuration file
start -----------------
input {
file {
path => "/Deleteme/data.csv"
sincedb_path => "/Deleteme/null"
start_position => "beginning"
}
}
filter {
csv {
separator => ","
skip_header => "true"
columns => ["badge","firstname","lastname"]
}
mutate {convert => ["badge", "integer"]}
}
output {
elasticsearch{
hosts => ["https://:9243"]
user => "elastic"
password => ""
index => "mytest"
}
stdout {}
}
end ------------------

Here is how do we run it (in windows)
start -----------------
C:\Software\ES\logstash-7.3.1\bin\logstash -f "/Deleteme/data.conf"
end ------------------

We also tried running from some Mac laptops and we got the same behavior/error, which make us believe we are doing something wrong.

Thanks in advance!

That looks to me as though you have pointed the elasticsearch output at a Kibana instance rather than an elasticsearch instance.

You were 100% correct I was using the wrong instance id, thanks for your help
