Hello,

I use ELK on docker ([repository](https://github.com/aberwag/elk-linux-server)) to manage logs on my server

bind archive log file if file size == 5Mo (rename queries.log to queries.log0 and create a new file queries.log), after this operation logstash doesn't read new file content and i don't have any log on logstash.

Bind configuration:  
...  
channel queries\_file {  
file "/var/log/dns/queries.log" versions 3 size 5m;  
severity dynamic;  
print-time yes;  
};  
...

an idea ?  
thanks
