I have a folder where new logs are added daily, in my conf file the input is defined like this:
```
input {
file {
path => "/opt/processed/disc*"
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
```
The files names are like this:
```
disc_2019_11_12.log
disc_2019_11_13.log
disc_2019_11_14.log
```
The command I run to index the logs look like this:
```
bin/logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/discs.conf
```
The problem that I have is that the new files that are added to my /opt/processed folder are not indexed automatically by logstash
Is there something that I need to do so this new files get automatically indexed in elastic?
