Hi , new to filebeat. Been trying to send different types of logs through filebeat to Logstash -\> Elasticsearch. While filebeat is able to read the path of a log file which is in lowercase, it failed to harvest an uppercase file path. Is there any specific configuration parameter to be set so that filebeat can pick these files?

I wonder if you are running into this issue: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/6737](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/6737). Could you try turning your file paths into a glob and see if that helps?
