Logstash drop newyears eve

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

hey all,

on the night of 31-12 to 1-1 i had an insane log drop on my ELK-stack cluster.

the cluster exists of 2 elasticsearch clusters 8GB memory each and 1 logstash server 4gb memory.
they are recieving syslog messages from about 350 servers.

does anyone have an idea what might be the cause of this?

Is it ongoing?

after a restart of the logstash server things were working for a while,
but after a couple of days it started dropping logs again.

Might be this bug. hits everyone on new year...
