HI  
garylog Collect logs form Filebeat。 Now there is a problem  
There are multiple logs generated at the same time，

Is there a way to make the log time more accurate?  
2021-06-14 08:36:40.652Z ----\>2021-06-14 08:36:40.652XXXZ  
Because I want to know the order of log generation

Welcome to our community! 😃  
Please don't post pictures of text or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂

Elasticsearch can handle nanosecond timestamps, but I don't know if Filebeat can output them in that format - there's nothing in the docs that shows that's possible that I can find.
