Hello. I've had some issues connecting to our host. I get this message from journalctl- Is there anything that sticks out in this error message?

```auto
{
:"hosts=>"[
      "<hostname>",
      "<hostname>",
      "<hostname>"
   ],
:"e=>#<RuntimeError":"Could not connect to any hosts>",
:"backtrace=>"[
      "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/jls-lumberjack-0.0.26/lib/lumberjack/client.rb:31:in `connect'",
