Hi,

i have the following config:  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
index =\> "%{[@metadata][index]}-logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["remote:9200"]  
index =\> "%{[@metadata][index]}-logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
}

when the remote is dead i remove the remote output from the config and counting on the --config.reload.automatic to reload the config, new config:  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
index =\> "%{[@metadata][index]}-logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
}  
}

but i keep getting Attempted to resurrect connection to dead ES instance on the remote server and logstash wont connect to the local elk from that point.  
is there a way to fix it?

running on 6.7.

Thanks!

Amir
