hi, i have been working with kibana and forwarding logs with filebeat.  
right now i have a situation where 2 servers are getting a different tag than the one i supplied.

Filebeat configuration:

> max\_procs: 1
> 
> filebeat.prospectors:
> 
> - input\_type: log  
> paths:
> 
> - input\_type: log  
> paths:
> 
> output.redis:  
> hosts: ["[someserver.com:6379](http://someserver.com:6379)"]  
> key: "xt"  
> timeout: 30

I think the issue started when i started the filebeat service with out the multi-pattern.  
now after i fixed and restart the service the issue remain, it didnt fix it for new logs.

it seemed that filebeat forwared a .gz file instead of a log not sure why but it did:

DId i corrupt my index? should i delete it?  
if yes, will the index get auto regenerated?

how can i fix this?
