I know I have another topic open but this I am kind of stuck on:

```auto
PUT https://storageName.blob.core.windows.net/hubName/0?timeout=61
Authorization: REDACTED

RESPONSE Status: 409 The specified blob already exists.
 
ERROR:
-> github.com/Azure/azure-storage-blob-go/azblob.newStorageError, /go/pkg/mod/github.com/!azure/azure-storage-blob-go@v0.8.0/azblob/zc_storage_error.go:42
===== RESPONSE ERROR (ServiceCode=BlobAlreadyExists) =====
Description=The specified blob already exists.
RequestId: . . .
Time:2020-12-21T17:42:57.5087896Z, Details:
Code: BlobAlreadyExists
PUT https://storageName.blob.core.windows.net/hubName/0?timeout=61
Authorization: REDACTED

```

I have deleted the blob but it keeps getting stuck right here. I have another tool for EHB log ingest. Although no logs were flowing for ingestion I still need to get this going via filebeat. How can I possibly diagnose this?

Is this related to a specific module you have enabled?

To my knowledge I am not using any special configuration.

this is how I have the config setup

```auto
filebeat.inputs:
- type: azure-eventhub
  eventhub: "nameofeventhub"
  consumer_group: "nameofconsumergroup"
  connection_string: "Endpoint=..."
  storage_account: "nameofstorageaccount"
  storage_account_key: "providedKey"

output.logstash:
  # The Logstash hosts
  hosts: ["localhost:5044"]

```
