Hi Everyone,

I'm getting the following message in logstash  
directory=C:\ProgramData\winlogbeat.winlogbeat.yml.new timestamp=2019-11-26 08:02:14.213000 event=file deleted hostname=test username=test directory=C:\ProgramData\winlogbeat

How to drop these winlogbeat logs? Any help would be much appreciated.
