Hey folks...
We have written a Go client that streams records to logstash the setup is as such:
Go client written in go using https://github.com/elastic/go-lumber sending records to logstash:5044
logstash 2.3.4 with logstash-input-beats (2.2.9) listening on 5044:
input config:
beats {
port => 5044
type => "my_platform"
codec => {charset => "UTF-8" }
}
}
things work great but if the go client is killed (ctrl-c in foreground) or kill -9 or abruptly crashes, the beats-plugin goes away and port 5044 is not listening any longer - interesting there are no messages in the logstash.log about this, no exceptions etc...
...any thoughts on this?
I tried to updated the beats plugin to 3.0.4 but it sits there forever trying to update CPU spins but nothing happens.
not sure what to do next here.
thx, FredPlex
