I am deploying filebeat on a Linux server to manage logs on a webdrive mounted. Filebeat read the logs and send the content to logstash repeatedly, generating duplicated content. The frequency of each line appearing is almost the same.  
The filebeat config is:

The same config works well for filebeat on windows, and no duplicate log is produced. Should I add some Linux-specific setting? Thank you for your help!
