Filebeat stops harvesting (error file didn't change) but tail -f is ok!

i'm pretty sure the monitor log file is busy (check by tail -f xxxx.log)

but the filebeat stops harvesting and didn't send any newline log .

i restart the filebeat and still not working .

then start debug mode with ( filebeat -e -d "*") which show file didn't change :sob:

this strange thing happen more than one time and suddenly appear

i google for answer but still confusing

any suggestion will appreciated :relaxed:
