k8s daemonset filebeat stop harvesting log after a while.

I started daemonset filebeat in my k8s cluster to collect my Java logs  
filebeat-version: 8.3.3

My configmap content is as follows

```auto
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: filebeat-config
  namespace: kube-system
  labels:
    k8s-app: filebeat
data:
  filebeat.yml: |-
    # To enable hints based autodiscover, remove `filebeat.inputs` configuration and uncomment this:
    filebeat.autodiscover:
      providers:
        - type: kubernetes
          node: ${NODE_NAME}
          hints.enabled: true
          hints.default_config:
            enabled: false
            type: log
            paths:
               - /var/lib/kubelet/pods/${data.kubernetes.pod.uid}/volumes/kubernetes.io~empty-dir/log-dir/*.log
               - /var/lib/kubelet/pods/${data.kubernetes.pod.uid}/volumes/kubernetes.io~empty-dir/log-dir/elk/*.log
    output.kafka:
      hosts: ["host1:9092","host2:9092","host3:9092"]
      topic: "k8s-logging_%{[kubernetes.labels.env]}"

```

Has anyone ever encountered such a situation？
