Filebeat prospectors autoreload not working

Elastic Stack Beats

Hello @Eshwar_Kumar, I think there is a small problem with your configuration if you look at the documentation.

I would remove the following:

filebeat.config:
  prospectors:
    enabled: true
    path: C:\ELK\filebeat-6.1.1-windows-x86_64\*.yml
    reload.enabled: true
    reload.period: 10s

and replace it with

filebeat.config.inputs:
  enabled: true
  path: C:\ELK\filebeat-6.1.1-windows-x86_64\*.yml
  reload.enabled: true
  reload.period: 10s

After you just create a new file in the reloading path, that file must have a yml extension. In the file you just define the prospector.

- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - C:\ELK\filebeat-6.1.1-windows-x86_64\*.log

  fields:
    level: error

See the load external configuration documentation for more details.
