Hi  
Recently i configured logstsh for parsing my mikrotik and fortigate log and they are working correctly but in conf.d logstsh started to create multiple conf.save like :  
mikrotik.conf.save.1, mikrotik.conf.save.2, mikrotik.conf.save.3 ...  
fortigate.conf.save.1, fortigate.conf.save.2 ,fortigate.conf.save.3 ...  
how can i stop it ?

That's not Logstash, that would be from whatever text editor you are using.
