Hello,  
We are facing the following error when trying to send data to redis.

Below is the configuration of logstash:

> **Input Config:**  
> input {  
> redis {  
> data\_type =\> list  
> key =\> filebeat  
> batch\_count =\> 128  
> host =\> "${REDIS\_HOST}"  
> db =\> "${REDIS\_DATABASE}"  
> }  
> }

> **Output Config:**  
> output {  
> redis {  
> host =\> "${REDIS\_HOST}"  
> db =\> "1"  
> data\_type =\> list  
> key =\> 'filebeat\_lowPriority'  
> batch =\> true  
> #batch\_events =\> 100  
> batch\_timeout =\> 10  
> timeout =\> 10  
> reconnect\_interval =\> 30  
> }  
> if ( [type] == "jetty" ) {  
> redis {  
> host =\> "${REDIS\_HOST}"  
> db =\> "1"  
> data\_type =\> list  
> key =\> 'filebeat\_highPriority'  
> batch =\> true  
> #batch\_events =\> 100  
> batch\_timeout =\> 10  
> timeout =\> 10  
> reconnect\_interval =\> 30  
> }  
> }  
> }

I tried with changing the timeout values in the output config but i still get the above error.  
Please take a look and let me know if there are any improvements needed to the config to make this work.  
Thanks in advance.
