What's the best way to debug something like this?

[2018-03-26T11:30:57,698][ERROR][logstash.pipeline        ] A plugin had an unrecoverable error. Will restart this plugin.

As you can see, the error message isn't very descriptive. This continuously occurs every second indefinitely. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I stumbled upon this: https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/7820
Seems to be the same issue I'm having. I'm running 5.5.0 so I'll try upgrading to 6.2.3 and see if it fixes itself.
