Gz file handling by interaction as XML files

Hi
How Can I configure input for reading per only one file. It is very important that logstash reads one file at a time as soon as it finishes parsing it and reads another one. This is related to the xml structure.
I have tried something like this


input {
    file {
        path =>"/data/data_1/A20211029*.gz"
        codec => multiline { pattern => "</measCollecFile>" negate => true what => next max_lines => 300000 max_bytes => 6000000 auto_flush_interval => 1 }
        start_position => "beginning"
        sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
        max_open_files => 1
        type => "xml"
    }
}

but max_open_files didn't cover above my requirements.

You cannot read gzipped files in tail mode.

The file input documentation says it will read up to 4 exabytes from each file before it processes the next. It should be working the way you want.

ok, so other things can we set up the pauseinterval between EOF and start to read next one?

stat_interval I'm right?

I'm sorry, I really do not understand what you are trying to do.

I wanted to introduce an interval for loading a files

stat_interval tells the input how often to wait between checks for new data. The wait and the time taken to read the files determine the actual time between checks.
