Like FileBeat， there is a Register File to record the file path. But Now I use logstash. All I can get just .SinceDB File， according to inode, can i get the filepath for logstash harvest? Thanks a lot! ---

Logstash won't tell you so you'll have to resort to the usual methods: [https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/35292/quickly-find-which-files-belongs-to-a-specific-inode-number](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/35292/quickly-find-which-files-belongs-to-a-specific-inode-number) ---
