I have log files whose names are in numbers only like "34567854322", these are an application logs and I don't have control to append any extension.

My config is below:

Those reports contain long one liner data and i dont have any exclusion, ignore or multi-line expression defined so pretty simple setup.
EDIT:
So I checked the logs and filebeat is picking those files but it is not pushing the data to elasticsearch

Those files have just one long line?
Filebeat needs a newline character after the last line in the file to be able to read it. [[documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/newline-character-required-eof.html#newline-character-required-eof)].
