Hi,
I am new to Filebeat. Right now I configured the filebeat in elasticbeanstalk app to collect the logs and sends to logstash. In unit testing I stopped the filebeat, but it didn't restart automatically.
How can I achieve that, running filebeat without interruptions?
files:
"/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml":
mode: "000755"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
paths:
- /var/log/nginx/access.log
fields:
type: nginx\_access
app\_name: nginx
account\_number: xxxx
region: us-east-1
service: xxxx
log\_level: access
fields\_under\_root: true
- type: log
