In my application, Filebeat1.1+ Logstash2.1 + Elasticsearch2.3, there are duplicated messages. I want to adjust timeout parameters in filebeat.yml , the default timeout is 30.  
but when I set timeout: 40

Filebeat stop forwarding messages to logstash

I checked filebeat status is still active.

Does anybody have the same issue here?

can you share your complete filebeat config + logstash input config? Have you checked logstash and filebeat logs?
