I would like to index 2 Json files (one event line per file) directly to Elastic.  
Here is my Filebeat configuraion:  
filebeat.modules:  
filebeat.prospectors:  
- input\_type: log  
paths:  
encoding: utf-8  
fields:  
document\_type: report  
fields\_under\_root: false  
max\_bytes: 52428800  
json.keys\_under\_root: true  
json.overwrite\_keys: true  
json.add\_error\_key: true  
output.elasticsearch:  
hosts: ["elastic:9200"]  
index: "inmaze-reports-%{+[yyyy.MM](http://yyyy.MM)}"  
bulk\_max\_size: 10  
timeout: 30  
template.enabled: true  
[template.name](http://template.name): "inmaze-reports"  
template.path: "${path.config}/reports.template.json"  
template.overwrite: true  
template.versions.2x.enabled: false  
template.versions.6x.enabled: false  
logging.level: debug  
logging.to\_files: true  
logging.files:  
rotateeverybytes: 10485760  
keepfiles: 7

my files both have the following json:  
{test1: "test1"}

Here is the debug log of my Filebeats:  
End of file reached: c:\temp\reports\test2.json; Backoff now.  
2017-11-19T22:47:00+02:00 DBG End of file reached: c:\temp\reports\test1.json; Backoff now.  
2017-11-19T22:47:02+02:00 DBG Flushing spooler because of timeout. Events flushed: 2  
2017-11-19T22:47:02+02:00 DBG No events to publish  
2017-11-19T22:47:02+02:00 DBG Events sent: 2  
2017-11-19T22:47:02+02:00 DBG Processing 2 events  
2017-11-19T22:47:02+02:00 DBG New state added for c:\temp\reports\test2.json  
2017-11-19T22:47:02+02:00 DBG New state added for c:\temp\reports\test1.json  
2017-11-19T22:47:02+02:00 DBG Registrar states cleaned up. Before: 2, After: 2

Why there are no events to publish?

There was no way around full debug... Found out that some of the files were missing new line....  
Nothing on the debug logs state that....
