So in a standalone instance I should see data=true meaning the local ES node should store all data if so how ? 

destination d_es {
	elasticsearch2(
		index("syslog-ng_${YEAR}.${MONTH}.${DAY}")
		type("syslog-ng") # Description: The type of the index. For example, type("test")
		template("$(format-json --scope rfc5424 --exclude DATE --key ISODATE @timestamp=${ISODATE})")
		#template("$(format-json --scope rfc3164 --scope nv-pairs --exclude R_DATE --key ISODATE)\n")

		port("9300")
		server("localhost")
		flush_limit("5000")
		client_mode("node")
		cluster("syslog-ng")
		custom_id("syslog")
		resource("/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml")
		client_lib_dir("/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib")
		concurrent_requests("100")
	);
};
