I use stable/logstash helm chart (chart version 2.3.0, app version 7.1.1) to deploy logstash. I have no issue using elasticsearch output, but always get SIGTERM with s3 output. I don't see any obvious cause of this in the logstash log. Any help would be appreciated.

This is how I configured the elasticsearch output, which works:

```
outputs:
  main: |-
    output {
      elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["${ELASTICSEARCH_HOST}:${ELASTICSEARCH_PORT}"]
        index => "%{[@metadata][type]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
        manage_template => true
        template_overwrite => true
        template => "/usr/share/logstash/files/edge-template.json"
        template_name => "logstash-edge"
      }
    }

elasticsearch:
  host: "es-prod-master"

```

This is how I configured s3 output, which always got SIGTERM:

```
outputs:
  main: |-
    output {
      s3 {
        access_key_id => "xxxxxxx"
        secret_access_key => "xxxxxxxx"
        region => "eu-central-1"
        bucket => "xxxx"
        size_file => 1048576
        time_file => 5
        prefix => "%{+yyyy.MM.dd.HH.mm}"
      }
    }

```

Following is the logstash log when SIGTERM is received using s3 output:

I've found the issue. This is due to the pod liveness check in K8s, as pointed out by [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56593504/receive-sigterm-on-logstash-startup-version-7-1-1/56784774#56784774](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56593504/receive-sigterm-on-logstash-startup-version-7-1-1/56784774#56784774)
