How to specify an UNC-Path (network share) for logstash file input plugin

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hello,

I tried specifying a UNC-Path for the "path"-Setting of the logstash file input plugin and unfortunately it doesn't work.

Is this a known issue or does someone here know how to get this to work on a windows maschine?

Here's what I've tried so far:

path => ["\\PC-NAME\share\file.txt"]
path => ["\\\\PC-NAME\\share\\file.txt"]
path => ["\\\\\\\\PC-NAME\\\\share\\\\file.txt"]
path => ["PC-NAME\share\file.txt"]
path => ["PC-NAME/share/file.txt"]
path => ["/PC-NAME/share/file.txt"]
path => ["//PC-NAME/share/file.txt"]
path => ["////PC-NAME//share//file.txt"]
path => ["file://///PC-NAME/share/file.txt"]

The last one works on windows also in the browser for example.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Simon
