[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng input for beats ?

Youtube ?
Got the \n off the json log by just removing the \n from "$MESSAGE\n"

Now that I have the json TCP stream from logstash into syslog-ng I want to
spit it back out to multiple destinations.

Sending this beats data back into elastic search is causing the message
block to go into ES non parsed.
How can I debug that ES output ?

source s_BEATS {network(port(5140) log-msg-size(65536) flags(no-parse));};
destination d_es_beats {
        elasticsearch2(
                disk-buffer(
                reliable(no) #  If set to no, the normal disk-buffer will
be used. This provides a faster, option
                dir("/opt/syslog-ng/buffer")
                disk-buf-size(10485760)
                mem-buf-length(100000) # number of messages stored in
overflow queue
                ) # END DiskBuffer
                client-mode("http")
                index("winlogbeat-${YEAR}.${MONTH}.${DAY}")
                type("winlogbeat") # Description: The type of the index.
For example, type("test")
                #template("$(format-json --scope rfc3164 --scope nv-pairs
--exclude R_DATE --key ISODATE)\n")
#template("$(format-json -s all-nv-pairs -p @timestamp=$ISODATE -p
@message=$MESSAGE)")
template("${MESSAGE}")
                cluster-url("http://192.168.1.16:9200/")
                concurrent-requests("5") # Number of concurrrent batches
                flush_limit("5000") # The number of messages in a single
batch
                skip-cluster-health-check("yes")
                cluster("hal")
                client_lib_dir("/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib")
        );
};

log { source(s_BEATS);  parser {kv-parser();}; destination (d_es_beats); };
