[main] Logstash - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (TypeError) no implicit conversion of nil into String.
Logstash went shutdown suddenly due to VM shutdown . When we try to restart the ELK stacks , we are facing this issue in logstash .
This issue is solved , actually there was some APM agent(of Riverbed monitoring ) running in the same VM. Looks like it was locking the pid file or any process id , due to which logstash was not getting started .
On stopping the agent and uninstalling it , logstash worked fine .
logstash should log proper error messages.
