filebeat sends the data to the logstash once a second. I want to change the 1 second unit. to 0.1 seconds. do you know how? ---

Could you please explain why you need to send data more frequently than once a second? Filebeat sends data in batches, so you get more than one event sent to logstash per second by default. If you have to increase the achievable throughput, consider increasing the number of [output workers](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/logstash-output.html#_literal_worker_literal_2) and a load-balancing setup. ---
