We recently had a problem when ES cluster failed. The problem was resolved, but filebeat failed to send new data after the failure.
Here's a portion of the logs - it seems to retry forever but can't send the data:

I restarted Filebeat service and all data was sent to ES without any problem.
Is this a known issue? Filebeat version is quite old, should I update?
I'm running Filebeat 6.3.0 as a service on Windows. Elasticsearch version is 6.4.0.
