We monitor a log file. The name of this log file is mwsummary-log[0].log. We found that filebeat cannot monitor any content of this file. Also no data is sent to elasticsearch. If we remove the in the log file name, filebeat can monitor the content of the log and send it to elasticsearch. How do we configure it to be able to monitor log files whose filename contains ""? ---

Hi @zyjj1 Did you try to set log path in single quotas, as suggested [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/yaml-tips.html#wrap-paths-in-quotes) ? ---
