Filebeat shared folder

Elastic Stack Beats

Hello,

I have to install Filebeat on a server (windows). Filebeat will have to read logs file on a shared folder.
In my .yml, i got that :

filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  paths:
    - \\dpm\*.log

But this doesn't work. The path dosen't work. I know using filebeat with remote folder isn't good, but it's my only option.
I use Filbeat 7.15.0

Thx for your help

Can you elaborate a little more please, what do you mean here?

Sorry, Filbeat does not want to read files when they are on a remote directory

From my research, I have the impression that Filebeat cannot read remote files.
