ELK stack version：5.5.1

There is one logstash can not be restarted, I have used `kill -9 PID` to kill the process, but it respawn a new one automatically.

There are three logstash nodes in my ELK stack, the other two are normal.

FYI we’ve renamed ELK to the Elastic Stack, otherwise Beats feels left out 😉

How did you install Logstash?

Then use the services tools for the OS to stop it, don't kill it,
