Hi,

I am experimenting with the Twitter plugin. I do however see that the connection is intermittently lost every now and then.

Any pointers to troubleshooting this plugin?

here is my config file in case you'd want to know what it looks like

more /etc/logstash/twitter.conf

input {  
twitter {

# add your data

consumer\_key =\> "..."  
consumer\_secret =\> "..."  
oauth\_token =\> "..."  
oauth\_token\_secret =\> "...."  
keywords =\> ["aaa","aa","aaaa""]  
full\_tweet =\> true  
}  
}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
host =\> "localhost"  
index =\> "twitter-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"  
document\_type =\> "tweets"  
}  
}
