Logstash thread watchdog timeout crash

Description

Logstash crashes with my nginx grok filter every few minutes or hours. Before my grok filter was simpler and did not contain more than two patterns...

I have attached the crash log and my nginx pattern.

Logstash receives a few million messages per day in our setup.

This happened to me as well when I added a fourth pattern to one of my grok filters.

Removing the fourth pattern fixes the problem.

For reference, I am currently indexing ~20 million messages per day. It has been holding up so far.

Actually – I found another work around. I changed the pattern to this and now I am working:

Maybe using the DATA pattern repeatedly was too expensive?
