Index not creating from couchdb with logstash Logstash

Question

I am using this config file to create index/import data from couchdb.

input { 
   couchdb_changes {
    db => "roles"
    host => "localhost"
    port => 5984
}
}
output {
elasticsearch { 
    document_id => "%{[@metadata][_id]}"
    document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
    host => "localhost"
    index => "roles_index"
    protocol => "http"
    host => localhost
    port => 9200
  }
}

I was able to run logstash with this config file and import data once. I closed command prompt to shutdown logstash and reran cmd prompt and stash with the config file again. but now I cannot see any index created. Is there anything that I might be doing wrong here. I am using ctl+c to kill logstash in cmd prompt. Will appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Answer 1

in case someone comes here looking for the answer of same thing...I set sequence_path => "my_couchdb_seq" in couchdb_changes { } section of my config file and it worked. Each time i want to run logstash to create index, value in this file should be replaced with 0.
