I have one query regarding the data pushed by filebeat to logstash.
When I am opening and saving the log file, filebeat is resending all the data from the begining of the log. Is this the expected behaviour ? How can we overcome this?
When I am pushing one line without opening the file, it is working fine by sending the new data only. but resending all data when i am writting one line by opening the log file.

filebeat stores inode to identify files. If your editors saving strategy changes inode we have a hard time to tell wether the file has already been processed or not.

This was not the case in LSF. I am trying to migrate LSF to filebeat. Is there any way to overcome this issue in filebeat?
My configuration are at my previous post [Migration of LSF to filebeat](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/migration-of-lsf-to-filebeat/46493)

filebeat code base is derived from LSF code-base. As I don't fully understand what's happening I will need some output to figure out what's going on on OS level.
Which operating system are you using? filebeat version?
Can you run filebeat in debug mode `-v -d '*'` plus check inodes with `$ ls -i` ? Compare inode with inode in registry file.
Please add all output.
