While running the logstash I'm getting an issue of "A plugin had an unrecoverable error. Will restart this plugin."

Hi @yogesh.gangwar,

Welcome to the community! Thank you for your question. Can you share your configuration?

It looks like that port is already in use by another process on the host. Can you check you're not running multiple Filebeats or other processes with the same port, or change the configuration to another port?
