Got some reference from this link - [Deleting log files after they have finished processing](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/deleting-log-files-after-they-have-finished-processing/246382)  
Firstly I tried to do this using Filebeat but then while searching found this above link and tried to do that using Logstash.  
Please suggest what\how I could achieve that..?
