Hi There,

**Issue** : Filebeat is not updating the custom _filebeat.registry\_file_ according to the files present in the _filebeat.prospector.paths_

**Specs:**

- System spec: 8 core 8GB ram Intel system
- Filebeat version: 6.2.2
- OS: CentOS 7

**Points to consider:**

- Around 17 process each running its own custom\_filebeat.yml file.
- All the process, is running at 1%(say X1 to X17) except one at 99%(say X0).
- Some of the file between X1 to X17 are similar to X0 but working fine.
- The registry file contains entry for older files but new ones are not getting entered while respective file mentioned in path are present

**About X0 filebeat config file:**

- This file reads input from file path as regex.
- And outputs the data to kafka.

**Contents of X0(Similar to actual file):**
