Hello Team,
I need to collect the log from files to lofgstash.
My filename looks like the below.
D:\test\test\app\20220808-appname.log
While i configure the same path in filebeat its not working.
Could you please advise how to give the path name in filebeat.yml

Hi @rajvel
Are you getting any error in this case?
Do you set path in single quotas, as suggested [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/yaml-tips.html#wrap-paths-in-quotes)
```auto
path: 'D:\test\test\app\20220808-appname.log'
```
?
