Hello,

I am using Filebeat 7.16.2 with AWS module to download VPC flow logs to elastics from S3. Is there a way to make ignore older files/log. Everytime filebeat gets restarted it writes to elastic everything from the bucket. The company policy we have is to have the log for 30 days in the bucket and it becomes a mess.
