Is there a way to configure the logging to include the filename when reporting an error? I'm using an instance of Filebeat (v6.2) which tails somewhere around 80 different file paths. Currently when errors are reported, the name of which file Filebeat is reporting an error on isn't included. Parsing 80 different files to determine the issue is cumbersome and inefficient. ---

Could you provide a sample of the parsing errors as they are currently being reported (without the filename) in your Filebeat log? Thanks, Shaunak ---
