title: How to use logstash plugin - logstash-input-http
body: <p>I am exploring Logstash to receive inputs on HTTP. I have installed http plugin using:</p>
  
  <p><strong>plugin install logstash-input-http</strong></p>
  
  <p>The installation was successfull. Then I tried to run logstash using following command:</p>
  
  <p><strong>logstash -e 'input {http {port => 8900}} output {stdout{codec => rubydebug}}'</strong></p>
  
  <p>But logstash terminates without giving any error as such. </p>
  
  <p>Don't know how to verify whether plugin is installed correctly or not. And how to utilize the http plugin to test a sample request.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in Advance!</p>
