Hi Team,  
I am using Filebeat 8.0.0  
And using filestream type for harvesting logs from 6 different paths with ingest pipeline.

But i have to restart the Filebeat service to get the logs as it is not sending logs from the provided path on frequent basis

I did try ignore\_older and close\_inactive but no luck.

Once I do restart of Filebeat services all the logs get reflected.

Could anyone suggest why this is happening.

It'd be useful if you could share your Filebeat logs and config. It might also be worth upgrading Filebeat to the latest version.

Please don't post pictures of text, logs or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂
