Ok, I actually believe those are separate issues as I have other box where file was removed from registry, but this time registry file was updated all the time. ``` 2016-10-03T16:18:18Z Filebeat started 2016-10-03T16:18:19Z INFO Harvester started for file: /problematic ``` [...] Somewhere in between "/problematic" file disappeared from registry file, without _any_ mention in logs. Process was running all the time. [...] ``` 2016-10-03T17:21:28Z INFO filebeat stopped. 2016-10-03T17:21:43Z Filebeat got restarted 2016-10-03T17:21:43Z INFO Harvester started for file: /problematic ``` File was also re-added to registry ``` [root@host2 filebeat]# grep -l /problematic /var/lib/filebeat/registry /var/lib/filebeat/registry ``` In _less_ than 10 minutes file disappeared from registry. There is no mention of that operation in filebeat's logs. ``` [root@host2 filebeat]# grep -l /problematic /var/lib/filebeat/registry [root@host2 filebeat]# ``` This is completely repeatable. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-beta1-resends-random-data-upon-every-restart-registry-file-not-updated-properly/61813)._
