Did you can any message at logstash startup ? If you got something like "[2017-02-...][ERROR][logstash.agent] fetched an invalid config { ... }" and then you got this message, this could mean you ran into the same error as discussed here : [Logstash Failed to create monitoring event](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-failed-to-create-monitoring-event/74191)

If so, you should fix your config, and try again. This message should disappear.
