Hello everyone,
i've encountered a strange issue regarding the elastic-agent, filebeat respectively.
I'am using a "Custom Logs" integration in Kibana, which is supposed to ship logs from a file on the host.
This itself is of no issue.
However, every time the host is rebooted, the contents of the log file are entirely sent again to elastic resulting in redundant data.
I was looking into the registry files, which i know are maintaining the positional information per log file for filebeat, so it knows what was already shipped.
To my surprise i found that my log file does not even appear in the registry (opposed to e.g. elastic agent logs, other integration log files).
Does that imply the positional information is not being maintained at all?
Did anyone encounter such issue already ?
Setup: macOS with elastic-agent managed by fleet
