For me there seems to be a different problem!

I posted a workaround here, but it is not a solution [FileBeat EOF Error](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-eof-error/60882)  
If you could read it, any help will be really appreciated!

> Hi, sadly our test did not proceed well, none of the above workaround worked 100%, we were still getting that error. As we had the opportunity, we moved to a larger cluster: 3 HUGE machines. We expected one of them to be able to take the whole load but we used 3 for test. It happened again. EOF Thus it could not be a problem of fully loaded machine so we moved to changing other parameters. We found out that removing load\_balance in filebeat solved the problem, or at least it seems to. Again…
