Hi,
I am using logstash to read fixed set of log files (parallely) and through .sincedb file, I am figuring it out its progress. I noticed that logstash updates .sincedb file only when it has completely read a file i.e. when it hits end-of-line.
Is there way to keep track of logstash progress when a file is being parsed ?
