Hi,

I have a Filebeat process with 4 prospectors.  
created a scheduled task which is updating the file for each prospector with current time.  
The task runs every 2 minutes.

The data is being sent over to Elasticsearch.

There are times that a huge gap is being created such as 1 hour, 1.5 hours.  
The data between the beginning of the Gap and the ending of the Gap, is lost.  
Filebeat is running as process in windows machine.

It can be a Gap including all 4 prospectors and a Gap which includes only 1 prospectors of the 4.

So all others are sending the data to the same elasticsearch machines, using the same output.

Need help to solve it.

Thanks,

Ori
