The symptom is that I can't see the real time log in kibana.  
I changed filebeat to debug mode, and I found out that the filebeat publishes old log event.  
If you see my log below, filebeat publishes the log of April 29 07:38 at April 29 14:29.  
It is about 7:00 hour delay in publishing the event in the filebeat side.

The log file size is about 1.6G.

Here is the filebeat conf.

- type: log  
enabled: true  
paths:

log of filebeat:
