Transport "error" callback is firing

[pasupulaphani]

The connection seems to be falling off for long-lived connections.

    const winstonPapertrail = new winston.transports.Papertrail(options)
    this.logger = new winston.Logger({
      levels: this.options.levels,
      transports: [winstonPapertrail]
    })

    winstonPapertrail.on('error', (err) => {
      this.emit('error', new Error('INSTANTIATION_FAILED', err))
    })

Error output to stdout:

There was a problem (Error: INSTANTIATION_FAILED) in papertrail and it has been destroyed.

Any ideas on how to avoid this? or reconnect automatically?

(I changed the issue title to reflect what you seem to be reporting, since the this.emit code, and thus the error string, seems to be code that you wrote)

What version of the transport are you using? In 1.0.4, the error callback is called but shouldn't be fatal; the library will automatically reconnect. Check out the README for an example of the recommended error callback handler, which is basically to do nothing.
