Logstash keeps crashing

Unfortunately, today, I get the same issue.
Finally, a wrong fix found regarding the max size.

It looks the same issue than these topics but my config is correct in /opt/kafka/config/server.properties !
listeners=PLAINTEXT://1.2.3.4:9092 #(IP changed)

(Indeed, I see in the start sequence these two parameters) :
security.protocol = PLAINTEXT
bootstrap.servers = [1.2.3.4:9092, 1.2.3.5:9092]

It's not feeding through kafka.

In debug mode I find :
[2018-01-12T11:49:10,544][DEBUG][org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient] Initiating connection to node -1 at 1.2.3.4:9092.

I tried to shutdown one of the servers. I have only 1 error message from time to time "Sending batch to Kafka failed. Will retry after a delay."

Once started, I have many times this error !

Do you have any idea ??
Thank you !
