Filebeat Line Endings Problem '\n'

Elastic Stack Beats
4

I finally worked it out.

If the log paths are defined in filebeat.yml all is fine and working correctly. The misbehaviour only happens if the log paths are defined in modules.d/logstash.yml.

So this is not working (modules.d/logstash.yml):

- module: logstash
  log:
    enabled: true
    var.paths: ["/logtemp17/*"]

And this is working (filebeat.yml):

filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - /logtemp17/*
