Hello community,  
I am sending logs from filebeat to logstash, once I send logs from a particular file to logstash via filebeat, it won't run again for the same file. I have tried setting ignore\_older = 0 in filebeat, however, it doesn't work. Can anybody tell me how to fix this?  
Thank You.

Hi!

Could you share your configuration?  
Also could you try and run Filebeat with debug flag like `filebeat -e -d :*"` and check if you see any errors?

C.
