I add some config like below

```auto
filebeat.config:
  inputs:
    enabled: true
    path: /etc/filebeat/filebeat-2/*.yml
    reload.enabled: true
    reload.period: 1s

```

It enable me to add runtime yml configs. But when I remove these yml, the file they monitor seem to still at the registry file.
