Dear All,

Facing issue on logstash 5.6.6 netflow module where index is not created after a few days, and the only way to resolve it is to stop logstash and starting logstash again.

During stopping logstash, it will take some time and this is display in the log file:

Then after stopping the logstash and starting again, the issue will be resolve and after a few more days netflow module will stop working
