Hi All,  
I'm new to Elastic and i'm configuring logstash with jdbc imput to get information from oracle database, however if for any reason (listener down, db down, etc) jdbc connection fails, it does not generate any information in elasticsearch. Is there any way to generate some field when connection fails as to monitor that it was not possible to connect?

thanks
