adding an option to specify an index, fix of a huge mistake in current documentation, rewriting of hosts handling to have working ssl in Logstash 2.3, adding transport_options to enable advanced underlying Transport Options.

Hello,
This is a pretty simple Pull Request to enable a new setting "index". This setting allows you to specify which Elasticsearch Index you want to query.

PS. I have signed the Logstash agreement shortly. Is it possible to check it again ?

Hi @jehuty0shift, we have found your signature in our records, but it seems like you have signed with a different e-mail than the one used in yout Git commit. Can you please add both of these e-mails into your Github profile (they can be hidden), so we can match your e-mails to your Github profile?

Hi @karmi, Thanks for your reply ! Sorry for that, I just added my commit e-mail to my account then.

I change the implementation of hosts and options to have a working ssl in Logstash 2.3, I added Transport options option to let users provide more advanced options in the Default Faraday Transport used by the Elasticsearch Client. the User and Password are now handled directly by the underlying Elasticsearch Client.
