@jsvd any update on this? Do you need more info?

[liuthree]

I met the same problem.Have you solved it？

[para6666]

Hi,

change in the "nagios_nsca.rb"
config :port, :validate => :number, :default => 5667

to

config :port, :validate => :string, :default => 5667

of course you have to change the port config to:
port => "3334"

not sure if this a good idea, but it works

same problem on Logstash 6.2.4. Any idea how to resolve? I tried to change in "nagios_nsca.rb" from ":number" -> ":string", but always the same issue.

@jsvd any news here? this seems to be a consistent failure as we can confirm the same bug here...

[tkorochka]

@usp-rol , fix from @para6666 works for me.

[para6666]

@joschi99
Did you changed the port part in the output to a String?
port => "5667"

and did you restarted Logstash completely?

[usp-rol]

sure, we can also confirm the workaround. but still it remains logstash 6.2 (at least) not supporting this plugin anymore (without making changes to ruby files, yes).

so the only issue here not making any progress was #13
I hope this can be solved (merged) then. unfortunately jenkins tests are failing on current master branch (not really caused by the change from #13)
