`/var/log/*.log` is currently being fetched and rendered in Kibana, but after the initial timestamp for which the index was created, no changing of timestamps or refreshing seems to pull new data in.
I am new to this stack - surely missing something simple. The search filter is on `Today` and I've updated several times. No new data comes through.
Kibana only seems to see new Filebeat data when the Filebeat service is restarted.
Here is the filebeat.yml:
```auto
filebeat:
prospectors:
-
paths:
- /var/log/*.log
- /var/log/messages
- /var/log/secure
input_type: log
document_type: syslog
registry_file: /var/lib/filebeat/registry
output:
elasticsearch:
hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
logstash:
hosts: ["localhost:5044"]
shipper:
logging:
files:
```

Hi @kahn,
You should be seeing a continuous stream of data flowing in. Do you see any error in your Filebeat/Elasticsearch logs?
Best regards
