Hi

I am trying to send syslog from apigee to logstash. Logstash receives the data for sometime and if I try after 10 minutes , it stops listening. I don't see data flowing through the port. It blocks the port is my theory.  
I am able to send data to different port from apigee and if I change the port again in logstash restart its works in new port for sometime. I am not sure where I am going wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

input {  
syslog {  
port =\> 5244  
type =\> "syslog"  
}  
}  
filter {  
dissect {  
mapping =\> {  
message =\> "%{data}|%{field1}|%{field2}|%{field3}"  
}  
}  
}  
output {  
amazon\_es {  
hosts =\> ['[sample.com](http://sample.com)']  
region =\> 'eu-west-1'  
aws\_access\_key\_id =\> ''  
aws\_secret\_access\_key =\> ''  
index =\> "logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
manage\_template =\> false  
}  
}

Thanks,
