I want to roll the os-filebeat-out.log, my Logging section in filebeat.yml looks like:

```auto
logging.level: info
logging.to_files: true
logging.files:
     path: /path/filebeat-7.14.1-linux-x86_64
     name: os-filebeat-out.log
     rotateeverybytes: 10485760
     permissions: 0600
     keepfiles: 7
     rotateonstartup: true
     suffix: count
     interval: 1s

```

I am starting filebeat as

./filebeat -e \>\> os-filebeat-out.log 2\>&1 &

but the file is not changing the permission nor rotating the file:

```auto
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 grp 93799652 Nov 25 13:36 os-filebeat-out.log

```

How can I manage my os-filebeat-out.log file?
