Hi. We have a requirement to keep a copy of each log file sent to Google Cloud Storage bucket for a couple of days (crazy business requirement). Sending the log files to Google Cloud works great. Can't figure out how to get Logstash to save a copy of the file just sent or how to get Logstash to make an exact copy of the file as it is created.
