index =\> "logstash-dd.mq\_log"  
hosts =\> ["11.11.11.122:0000"]   
document\_id =\> "%{fingerprint}"

Do you have x-pack watchers available to you?

You can create a watcher that will be able to send you an email every time the error\_code = "AMQ9616"

I will be able to help you if you explain a bit more about what your setup is

Install x-pack

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.6/installing-xpack.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.6/installing-xpack.html)

Once you have installed x-pack we can write a watcher for you that will fix your issue.

X-pack watchers are a useful feature that is definitely worth taking a look at even if you don't want to do it this way
