After running logstash to send emails , one of the messages has been blocked. So the logstash shows me this error  
[2017-08-30T09:29:35,862][ERROR][logstash.shutdownwatcher] The shutdown process appears to be stalled due to busy or blocked plugins. Check the logs for more information and i can't send emails anymore .  
Any help please

This error message is just a symptom of the real error which is logged separately.

Please copy/paste instead of posting a screenshot.

The email output has logged an error a couple of times. Have you verified that the computer Logstash runs on can connect to whatever server you've configured?
