Hello!  
Resently i noticed, that i doesn't get some Windows logs. I use WEF collector - Winlogbeat - Logstash - Elasticsearch.  
I checked WEF, messages were on it and it was ok, than i check winlogbeat logs - there is no errors or something strange. I even use debug mode.  
After it i check Logstash - i look for /var/log/logstash/logstash\* logs and doesn't find any problems. I look for healthcheck in Kibana: CPU were near 10% and Heap near 9 Gb from 30Gb for JAVA.  
Than i disable other logs, except winlogbeat. Before this action i has near 80 EPS for (winlogbeat-wef) pipe, after i have 3500 EPS! So, a lot of events simply dropped, as i understand and i coudnt find any logs about it.

Here you can see overal EPS for Logstash

So, my questions are:

1. how to determine that something goes wrong with Logstash?Is there is some secret logs?
2. How can i know about queues?
3. How can i ckeck the health of every pipe?
