One of our logstash node is not showing in the monitoring tab. So how can I log into specific logstash nodes to verify if x-pack is running? Assuming that is what is causing this problem. Or there might be any other issue with this? Edit: I just checked and can see that logstash is constantly restarting. What could be the issue here? ---

Could you post an excerpt of the log or a relevant error message? It's kinda hard to tell what's wrong without any information. ---

There seems to be an issue with the config of the pipeline `r6_stgl3` Is this a pipeline you manually created or modified? My guess would be that there is an incorrect block of {} brackets somewhere in your config. The offending block ends/begins in line 1870 of your config. ---

There was a bad config file added during the last restart of logstash which resulted in this issue. Now it is resolved. Moved the bad config to disabled folder and restarted logstash. ---
