I'm running a slightly older version of Logstash 5.1.1 on Amazon Linux 2017.03 with openjdk 1.8.0\_131 (because I'm also running the same version of Elasticsearch and Kibana). It is working in 2 clusters with the same hardware but on this one, it is unable to stay up. It keeps throwing this error: [2017-05-11T21:05:28,185][ERROR][logstash.agent] Pipeline aborted due to error {:exception=\>#\>, :backtrace=>["/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-5.4.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http_client_builder.rb:80:in`setup\_ssl'", "org/jruby/RubyEnumerable.java:1459:in `any?'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-5.4.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http_client_builder.rb:80:in`setup\_ssl'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-5.4.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http\_client\_builder.rb:33:in `build'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-5.4.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch.rb:196:in`build\_client'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-5.4.0-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/common.rb:13:in `register'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/output_delegator_strategies/shared.rb:8:in`register'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/output\_delegator.rb:37:in `register'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:229:in`start\_workers'", "org/jruby/RubyArray.java:1613:in `each'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:229:in`start\_workers'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:183:in `run'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:292:in`start\_pipeline'"]}` So I tried downgrading the logstash-output-elasticsearch but that was clearly a red herring because I'm still getting the error it just now looks like: [2017-05-11T21:33:34,708][ERROR][logstash.agent] Pipeline aborted due to error {:exception=\>#\>, :backtrace=>["/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-5.1.1-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http_client_builder.rb:76:in`setup\_ssl'", "org/jruby/RubyEnumerable.java:1459:in `any?'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-5.1.1-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http_client_builder.rb:76:in`setup\_ssl'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-5.1.1-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http\_client\_builder.rb:29:in `build'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-5.1.1-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch.rb:188:in`build\_client'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-5.1.1-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/common.rb:13:in `register'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/output_delegator_strategies/shared.rb:8:in`register'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/output\_delegator.rb:37:in `register'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:229:in`start\_workers'", "org/jruby/RubyArray.java:1613:in `each'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:229:in`start\_workers'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:183:in `run'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:292:in`start\_pipeline'"]} Any idea what is causing this error and how I can get logstash running smoothly again? ---

Oy, nevermind, I found an issue with my configs, I'm using chef to deploy my configs and I had double brackets around the elasticsearch ips because of the way they render. I fixed that and now everything is fine. ---
