      Logstash Plugin 2.3.1

      I came across an error like this: 

      [logstash-plugin]: Failed to send log data: <URL>
      [logstash-plugin]: No Further logs will be sent to <URL>
      java.io.IOException: HTTP error code: 400

      Doing some investigation I found that one of our plugins was adding an environment variable with "." in the name like "foo.bar".  When I removed those environment variables it fixed the issue.  I believe the logstash plugin could and probably should handle this case in a more graceful way - even if just erroring and saying the variable that can't be sent to Elastic.  Or more advanced might be replacing the "." with something else so it just works.
