Hi Team,
I am using Logstash 7.17.4 for transferring Oracle DB data to ElasticSearch index.
Logstash is running perfectly as a windows service(Running on Remote Windows machine) and syncing also happening perfectly.
My question is:
**If any shutdown happens to Logstash, it should be alerted through mail.**
**How can we implement this feature?**
Thanks,
Suresh U.

You'd need to be monitoring Logstash somehow, and then based on however you are monitoring it, generate an alert.
You could monitor it with;
- Heartbeat on port 9600
- Filebeat through the Logstash logs, watching for the logged shutdown line
- Metricbeat to watch that the process exists.

Thanks a lot Warkolm for the quick update.
