How do you know Logstash is even reading anything from your files? Have you read the file input documentation, paying special attention to the start_position option and everything that's said about sincedb?

3

Added the start_position but still its not reading from files.

4

start_position only makes a difference the first time a file is seen. In your case Logstash has already decided upon a position in the file.

This is an extremely common problem that people have. Please look into past threads for elaborations.
