Hello,  
I'm receiving every X hours this error.

> {:timestamp=\>"2016-05-06T13:42:07.484000+0200", :message=\>"CircuitBreaker::rescuing exceptions", :name=\>"Lumberjack input", :exception=\>LogStash::SizedQueueTimeout::TimeoutError, :level=\>:w  
> arn}  
> {:timestamp=\>"2016-05-06T13:42:07.585000+0200", :message=\>"Lumberjack input: The circuit breaker has detected a slowdown or stall in the pipeline, the input is closing the current connectio  
> n and rejecting new connection until the pipeline recover.", :exception=\>LogStash::CircuitBreaker::HalfOpenBreaker, :level=\>:warn}

And for beats, this:

> {:timestamp=\>"2016-05-11T01:19:07.750000+0200", :message=\>"Beats input: the pipeline is blocked, temporary refusing new connection.", :level=\>:warn}  
> {:timestamp=\>"2016-05-11T01:19:07.751000+0200", :message=\>"CircuitBreaker::Open", :name=\>"Beats input", :level=\>:warn}

I don't know why is this happening. It can be for 2 or 3 minuts giving this errors.  
Can someone tell me why is this happening, or how to debug in roder to know what is causing this?

Thank you all
