Hello, thanks for reaching out. What are the timestamps and sizes of the files that correspond to this glob? I've seen instances where there are no current logs, and filebeat does not ship entries until new files have been generated?

C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1\*.log

I am appending log entries manually in the log file for which harvester has started. but the filebeat logs are still showing "Non-zero metrics in the last 30s". After 5 minutes it is closing the file and opening the same file again
