Hi,

I am using logstash 5.3.2. The offical docker image from [elastic.io](http://elastic.io). Both rabbitmq und logstash are running in a Kubernetes cluster.

There is no reconnect/retry to connect to a new rabbitmq instance, if rabbitmq is restarted during deployment, just the normal shutdown message, when rabbitmq is going down in the logstash log.  
Any idea, how I can do a automatic reconnect, when rabbitmq is up again? Logstash stays up, but nothing else is happening. Logstash rabbitmqs input plugin is used as a consumer for sending json to elasticsearch.

[2017-05-17T09:15:08,869][INFO][logstash.inputs.rabbitmq] Connected to RabbitMQ at  
[2017-05-17T11:16:07,490][WARN][logstash.inputs.rabbitmq] RabbitMQ connection was closed! {:url=\>"amqp://openstack:XXXXXX@rabbitmq:5672/", :automatic\_recovery=\>true, :cause=\>com.rabbitmq.client.ShutdownSignalException: connection error}

The rabbitmq and the logstash agent are running in different namespace and have, right now, no deployment dependencies.

logstash-input-rabbitmq-5.2.2  
logstash-mixin-rabbitmq\_connection-4.2.2-java  
logstash-output-rabbitmq-4.0.6-java

Thanks a lot and regards,

Olaf
