Hey gang, I'm running filebeat 1.3.1 and logstash 2.4.1 (haven't upgraded to newest because we are still using java7...) on an ubuntu instance on AWS. Once I deploy (we do a green-blue deployment scheme) with the AMI that contains filebeat and logstash, it works fine at least for a couple of hours (doing stuff on the instance shows in the logs). I'm shipping my logs to [logz.io](http://logz.io), filebeat and logstash are installed in the AMI, and communicate between them without TLS. After a few hours (don't know how many exactly - the next day it happens for sure), logstash appears to be stuck, and I'm getting this in /var/log/logstash/logstash.stdout: > Failed (Connection refused - Connection refused). Sleeping for 0.02 > Failed (Connection refused - Connection refused). Sleeping for 0.04 > Failed (Connection refused - Connection refused). Sleeping for 0.08 > Failed (Connection refused - Connection refused). Sleeping for 0.16 > Failed (Connection refused - Connection refused). Sleeping for 0.32 > Failed (Connection refused - Connection refused). Sleeping for 0.64 > Failed (Connection refused - Connection refused). Sleeping for 1.28 > Failed (Connection refused - Connection refused). Sleeping for 2.0 From that point on, that log contains lines just like the last one. I tried to play with keeping the file handlers open and so on, but nothing works. Can someone offer any piece of advice here? Thanks! ---
