I'm working on testing an ingest node pipeline for a log file. The first test ran great. I had to make a change to the pipeline and since I cannot get any data in:

As the problems started when you changed your pipeline, can you show us the pipeline that you're using to see if there is any problem?
Also, run filebeat in debug mode (`-d *`) so we can get more information about the publish error.
