I think I know what it is, but I wanted to see if anyone tried this and found a solution.  
I run a website in a shared hosting and because I can't install filebeat but I have ssh access for log checking, I've implemented a sshfs solution to mount the logs folder in my filebeat server.

All works as expected, filebeat-\>Logstash-\>ElasticSearch-\> Kibana... till today where I noticed that something was weird with a particular URL. Guess what.. its duplication ☹

So I know its something to do with the way I'm mounting the sshfs, I guess my couple questions are:

1- Has anyone tried this approach? Is it even supported?  
2- If yes is there a way to prevent this duplication on the source?

Thanks for the help.
