I have two logstash nodes running with 8 cores each. However, they consistently crash (every 1 or 2 days) with "Too many files open". I've only been able to find cases of this message on ES, has anyone encountered this on logstash? -bash-4.2# ulimit -n 8192 https://gist.github.com/vttran/4…

Logstash crashing with "Too many files open"

I fixed it by turning off sniffing (in elasticsearch output). logstash was keeping the tcp sockets open and consuming fd rapidly.
