Hello,

Recently I installed filebeat 7.4.2 and enabled IBM MQ module. After applying new configuration I didn’t get any data to elasticsearch. Inspecting logs, I found following line:

`Nov 15 16:07:30 ******** filebeat[16239]: 2019-11-15T16:07:30.797+0100 INFO log/input.go:152 Configured paths: [/var/mqm/*.LOG* /var/mqm/qmgrs/*/*.LOG*]`

I released that the default configure log paths is incorrect. With var.paths I have setup right location for logs:

`/var/mqm/qmgrs/*/errors/*.LOG*`

After applying configuration, I get following logs:

```
Nov 15 21:30:33 ******** filebeat[23423]: 2019-11-15T21:30:33.718+0100 INFO log/harvester.go:251 Harvester started for file: /var/mqm/qmgrs/QMRAZ1/errors/AMQERR03.LOG

Nov 15 21:30:33 ******** filebeat[23423]: 2019-11-15T21:30:33.783+0100 INFO log/harvester.go:251 Harvester started for file: /var/mqm/qmgrs/QMRAZ1/errors/AMQERR01.LOG

```

But still I was not able to see any logs in elasticsearch. I have checked ingest pipeline and it seems OK to me.

Has anyone run into the same problem?
