Hey @elk3 From what I understand you're trying to terminate Logstash service? How are you currently terminating it? I don't think Ctrl+C is sufficient enough, since its shutdown process can also be terminated. Have you tried shutting down Logstash with the following steps: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/shutdown.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/shutdown.html) ? ---
