Hi.

In Filebeat v.7.3.2, it used to send the EOF in its logs. However, in Filebeat v.8.6.2, it does not send EOF and cant fetch the end of the file reached.

What I changed is the input type log to filestream only.

filebeat.yml (v. 7.3.2)

```auto
filebeat.inputs:

# Each - is an input. Most options can be set at the input level, so
# you can use different inputs for various configurations.
# Below are the input specific configurations.

- type: log

```

filebeat.yml (v. 8.6.2)

```auto
filebeat.inputs:

# Each - is an input. Most options can be set at the input level, so
# you can use different inputs for various configurations.
# Below are the input specific configurations.

- type: filestream

```
