When logstash is down, and goes back up, stream never reconnects

[winaterion]

Hi,
I'm using latest stable version of bunyan 1.8.12 and bunyan-logstash-tcp ^0.3.5

I bring down logstash when the app is running, then, the logstash stream try to connect using retries.
I wait about 10 seconds, and then bring back logstash again.
the stream will no longer be available, or try to reconnect to logstash.
Any idea if there is a solution for that? I can only see 2 solutions:

1. restart the server (very bad)
2. keep track on logstash myself, and also keep track on all of my loggers and reconfigure them to use the stream again. (note I also write to file, and it still works because it's unrelated to logstash).

here is my stream initialization (without the file stream which is obvious):

const  logger = bunyan.createLogger({
            name: category,
            streams: [
            {
                name: 'logstash_stream',
                level: 'debug',
                type: "raw",
                reemitErrorEvents: true,
                stream: bunyantcp.createStream({
                    host: options.logstashHost ? options.logstashHost : 'localhost',
                    port: options.logstashPort ? options.logstashPort : 5400,
                }),
            },
        ],
        });
        logger.on('error', function (err, stream) {
            console.log("ho no, logstash probably down again...");
        });
