Can filebeat alert if the log file is not updated or no fresh logs?

If there are no fresh logs, does filebeat alert logstash or send some warnings?

if not, Is there a way to alert logstash when the logs are not loading in my server because the application is hung or failed.?

Any help would be much appreciated.

No filebeat doesn't sent a message if no logs are found. You can setup an alert on the query side (e.g. a watch) to detect if no longs are found for a longer period of time.
