How can I stop the Logstash instance, while ensuring that it finish sending the bulks to Elasticsearch? I don't want to loose any logs while stopping logstash.  
My version od ELK is 5.3  
My file.conf :

input {  
http\_poller {  
urls =\> {  
test1 =\> { method =\> get  
url =\> "[https://jira.vermeg.com/rest/api/2/search?"](https://jira.vermeg.com/rest/api/2/search?%22)  
headers =\> {  
Accept =\> "application/json"  
}}  
test2 =\> { method =\> get  
url=\>"[https://jira.vermeg.com/rest/api/2/search?"](https://jira.vermeg.com/rest/api/2/search?%22)  
headers =\> {  
Accept =\> "application/json"  
}}  
}  
interval =\> 3600  
}}  
filter {  
split {  
field =\> "issues"  
}  
mutate {  
add\_field =\> {"SvnTrace"=\>"not\_found"}  
add\_field =\> {"key" =\> "%{issues[key]}"}  
}}  
filter {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["10.6.140.58:9200"]  
index =\> "svn.solife-2017.05.15"  
query =\> 'is :" %{[key]}"'  
fields =\> { "revision" =\> "SvnTrace" }   
}}  
filter {  
if [SvnTrace] != "not\_found" {  
drop {}  
}}  
output {

elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "10.6.140.58:9200"  
index =\> "jira-svn-demo\_test10"

```
}

```

}

LS will try to flush anything it has in its pipeline during shutdown. If you issue a shutdown command you should see this in the logs.
