Having an issue with Logstash agents ( linux hosts ) sending files to a server - what seems to happen is on the agent starting up , the first few rows of the logs are sent after which it just stops and nothing further is written - until the log rolls over / and Logstash is restarted again. We currently have 8.1.1. installed.  
Looking for any tips to help troubleshoot this - we enabled debug but not seeing anything in the agent side . Basically after the pipeline is created and first few rows are sent - it just logs messages about garbage collection etc and nothing else.

Any help is appreciated .
