Little more background in case it helps - Microservices created in .net core - using log4net logging - file appender - this should not matter as its just creating a something.log file with a specific format for each log output.

Havent changed the scan\_frequency - default is 10 seconds and close\_inactive is still at its default - (5 mintues)

In theory once a log entry is entered every 10 minutes as example - it should appear to filebeat output every 10 minutes and 10 seconds - note logs dont come in every 10 minutes - just an example.
