Hello guys.  
Can someone help me?  
I've tested with a new log. After testing I've removed all this data from elasticsearch.  
So how I can re-send this log files?  
Thanks for the help!

Hi, you should be able to restart from scratch by deleting the `data/registry` file.

Thanks for advice.  
I've many another logs which forwarded via this filebeat. So...should I only remove data regarding this log file in registry file and restart filebeat?
