Hi Team,  
We are facing some intermittent issues in Kibana logs. While checking we got to know that we are not able to process the filebeat logs and rac is that harvester is not able to write the logs as its only reading the logs. Could you please let me know how to resolve the read/write issues for harvester?

I have not found much documentation except:

> **[Log input | Filebeat Reference \[7.13\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-log.html#filebeat-input-log-config-json)**

Unless you share logs and your configuration I think it will be hard for anyone to provide assistance.
