Hi,

I am using Filebeat -\> redis-\>logstash-\>Elasticsearch.

Now I am getting the below error in the filebeat(1.2.3) log.

ERR Fail to publish event to REDIS: write tcp 127.0.0.1:48979-\>127.0.0.1:6379: write: broken pipe

Kindly help in resolving this.

Thanks

can you run filebeat in debug mode? Is redis running for sure? Any data in redis? Any redis logs? Beats normally try to reconnect, but with filebeat 1.x this also means data-loss (better upgrade to 5.0 alpha2). Does problem persist after reconnect?
