we are getting below error in logstash log

log:

Beats input: The circuit breaker has detected a slowdown or stall in the pipeline, the input is closing the current connection and rejecting new connection until the pipeline recover
Beats input: the pipeline is blocked, temporary refusing new connection.", :reconnect_backoff_sleep=>0.5, :level=>:warn

Note : Logstash instance was working fine for moderate load but when load increased drastically we are facing this issue and logstash is unable to come out of it. To avoid this
we have increased logstash congestion_threshold to 25 also increased -w to 10 for 4 core machine for logstash service still it is in same state.

You probably need to scale LS to cope with this dramatic load increase.
But we kinda need more info on what load it is, what version you are on, what your config looks like etc.
