SSL errors about logstash-output-elasticsearch HOT 8 CLOSED

Oh this error isn't in a human friendly format and so confusing we should definitely give some love and improve it :(

A few questions:

• Is your Elasticsearch backend require an https connection?
• did you use the ssl => true in your configuration?
• Would you mind copy your configuration?

from logstash-output-elasticsearch.

My elasticsearch doesn't use SSL I believe (it is a default install)
Here is my output config for logstash:

output {
  # Send to Elastic Search
  elasticsearch {
    bind_host => "mypc.local"
    host => "mypc.local"
    cluster => "elasticsearch-mypc"
    index => "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    port => "9200"
    ssl => false
    protocol => "http"
    idle_flush_time => 5
    manage_template => false
  }

@andrewlove
I think some options are competing in the config, the cluster and the host? (not an excuse to give user a better error)

output {
  # Send to Elastic Search
  elasticsearch {
    host => "mypc.local"
    protocol => "http"
    idle_flush_time => 5
  }
}

You could also use the local IP (127.0.0.1) if mypc.local isn't reachable?

@andrewlove Are you running logstash on a windows machine?

from logstash-output-elasticsearch.

I'm running on Ubuntu 14.10.
I'll try your minimal config out.
Many thanks

@andrewlove strange, I just tried logstash 1.5.0.rc2 w/ elasticsearch 1.4.4 and the following config:

input {
  stdin {
  }
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    bind_host => "localhost"
      host => "localhost"
      cluster => "clusterdojoao"
      index => "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
      port => "9200"
      ssl => false
      protocol => "http"
      idle_flush_time => 5
      manage_template => false
  }
}

And I was able to index a document correctly without that error...can you provide any other information, like a full logstash run with --debug?

@andrewlove are you still having issues with this?

Closing. There have been numerous improvements which should hopefully have taken care of this.
