Hi!

We have one server where logstash parses and sends to elasticsearch puppet  
logs. Also we have email output in config to send error messages to mailbox.  
We faced with an annoying problem that logsatsh keeps sending us a few  
puppet log errors each 30mins but really this strings are absent in log  
file at all!! Even if I stop logsatsh service we still receive emails each  
puppet run. We tried to remove logfile but no luck. It seems like somewhere  
in queue these messages has benn stuck. Any ideas? :))

Thanks ahead!  
Sergey

You should really ask this on the Logstash mailing list 🙂
