title: Logstash not creating index on Elasticsearch
body: <p>I'm trying to setup a ELK stack on EC2, Ubuntu 14.04 instance. But everything install, and everything is working just fine, except for one thing.</p>
  
  <p>Logstash is not creating an index on Elasticsearch. Whenever I try to access Kibana, it wants me to choose an index, from Elasticsearch. </p>
  
  <p>Logstash is in the ES node, but the index is missing. Here's the message I get:</p>
  
  <p><code>"Unable to fetch mapping. Do you have indices matching the pattern?"</code></p>
  
  <p>Am I missing something out? I followed this tutorial: <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-4-on-ubuntu-14-04" rel="noreferrer">Digital Ocean</a></p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong>
  Here's the screenshot of the error I'm facing:
