We are getting the following error message in Filebeat

> | 2018-07-19T18:46:18.832Z | ERROR | logstash/async.go:235 | Failed to publish events caused by: write tcp 172.17.0.2:42194-\>10.14.86.242:9191: write: connection reset by peer |

But the connectivity is OK.

Here is the filebeat configuration

```
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - /usr/src/logs/*.json
  json.message_key: log
  json.keys_under_root: true
  json.add_error_key: true
  multiline.pattern: '^\s'
  multiline.match: after
  document_type: flow-logs
  tail_files: true

filebeat.config.modules:
  path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
  reload.enabled: false

setup.template.settings:
  index.number_of_shards: 3

output.logstash:
  hosts: ["10.14.86.242:9191"]

```

And here is the logstash configuration:

```
input{
  beats {
    host => "0.0.0.0"
    port => 9191
    client_inactivity_timeout => 86400
  }
}

output {

    amazon_es {
      hosts => ["<aws-es>"]
      region => "<aws-region>"
      index => "flow-logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
      codec => "json"
    }

}

/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin list --verbose beats
logstash-input-beats (5.1.0)

```

How can I resolve the issue?

Have you tried running Logstash with debug logging enabled to see if there are any clues in the logs there?

Also, what version is your Filebeat?

We are using filebeat-6.3.1. I don't see any error message on logstash even with debug mode enabled.

```
output {
   amazon_es {
       hosts => ["<aws-es>"]
       region => "<aws-region>"
       index => "flow-logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
       codec => "json"
   }
   stdout {
      debug => true
   }
}
```

What does `filebeat test output -e -d "*"` report?

Another test you could try is to comment out the amazon\_es output and see if any events flow. I would enabled the stdout output only.

`output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } }`

And how did you enable logstash debug? There is a `--debug` CLI flag or you can enable it [through settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.3/logging.html)?
