Hello,  
the file rename does not work inmy configuration. Any idea why?  
filebeat version is 7.6.0 or 7.6.1 (tested with both).  
The logs are shipped to graylog.

```
 # Set directory for additional inputs:
filebeat.config.inputs:
  enabled: true
  path: /etc/filebeat/conf.d/*.yml

filebeat:
output:
    logstash:
      hosts:

        - 10.247.x.yyy:12204
        - 10.247.x.yyy:12204
        - 10.247.x.yyy:12204
