Hello Team,

I have a filename with numeric value, like 20220809-test.log

While configure the same in filebeat.yml, its not sending the logs.

I think the filebeat can't read the numeric value.  
Please help how to configure the numeric value filename in filebeat.

Hi @rajvel

Did you try to set log path in single quotas, as suggested [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/yaml-tips.html#wrap-paths-in-quotes) ?
