Hello to All, I am trying to connect with the Database, and I configured the JDBC plugin in case there is a time-out connection. ```auto jdbc_validate_connection => "true" jdbc_validation_timeout => "60" ``` In the first time-out, the connection from my side to the Database goes down, I understand this case happened because, I have scheduled every 1 minute and the `jdbc_validation_timeout` every 60 seconds, My question here is, Why is the connection not restored when the Database is stable?

Hi Mabd, Can you share your Logstash configuration as `code`? If you could also share the exact error you are seeing the logs that would also help. ---
