Logstash, EC2 and elasticsearch - amazon-web-services

Question

I have two elasticsearch nodes setup in EC2 and am trying to use logstash with it. I get this error when I run logstash:
log4j, [2014-02-24T10:45:32.722] WARN: org.elasticsearch.discovery.zen.ping.unicast: [Ishihara, Shirow] failed to send ping to [[#zen_unicast_1#][inet[/10.110.65.91:9300]]]
org.elasticsearch.transport.RemoteTransportException: Failed to deserialize exception response from stream
Caused by: org.elasticsearch.transport.TransportSerializationException: Failed to deserialize exception response from stream
at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.MessageChannelHandler.handlerResponseError(MessageChannelHandler.java:169)
at org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.MessageChannelHandler.messageReceived(MessageChannelHandler.java:123)
at org.elasticsearch.common.netty.channel.SimpleChannelUpstreamHandler.handleUpstream(SimpleChannelUpstreamHandler.java:70)
That's a snippet of it.
Here is the conf file I am using with logstash:
input {
redis {
host => "10.110.65.91"
# these settings should match the output of the agent
data_type => "list"
key => "logstash"
# We use the 'json' codec here because we expect to read
# json events from redis.
codec => json
}
}
output {
stdout { debug => true debug_format => "json"}
elasticsearch {
host => "10.110.65.91"
cluster => searchbuild
}
}
~
I'm running Logstash on .91 (have a second terminal window open) Am I missing something?

I had to change "elasticsearch" to "elasticsearch_http".
Fixed.
