When Papertrail refuses connection you b/c you reached your max

See original GitHub issue

So I just learned the REALLY hard way that if Papertrail reaches it’s max and no longer collects data it will refuse a connection from your servers. That will in turn throw an error with this library:

events.js:85
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
    at exports._errnoException (util.js:746:11)
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1010:19)

It took hours to track down this issue and finally realize what it was. This package should have better error tracking for when a connection with Papertrail can’t be made. Took down a production app for an hour. cries

This one was really sad, the worst thing is that the stack trace is completely useless…

That’s ridiculous, had 8 hours downtime because of the plugin crashing my app.
