Hi I need to debug some filebeat issues in one of our testsystems.

I want to set loglevel to debug and I need help for setting the selectors correctly.

I need to have all the logs which are related to registry, harvesting and maybe publishing stuff, but I do not want to have the log message in the logs. That is filling up logs way to fast if logs are processed. I have to deal with (very) slow / sometimes never starting harvesting.

Could you please assist?

Thanks, Andreas
