Hello.

I'm collecting a number of logs, and some of them are rotated through logrotate with `delaycompress` option (file is renamed but sits there for 24h). Those files are collected and opened by filebeat, but it never closes them.

I know I can reconfigure `log` to `close_inactive` files, but alas this happens to modules. And I don't see any clear way to set defaults to all modules at once.

Is there a way to set defaults for all `log` instances or is there any other way to make filebeat stop waiting on removed files?

Thanks in advance.
