Hello All, I am new to Elastic Stack and have been working on it for last 2 weeks. I am facing an issue with Logstash where I am reading log files from a specific folder. But when I tried to find some data on Kibana, I observed that some files got skipped. When I ran them individually, they all indexed fine. I need Logstash to pick up and index all files correctly, can someone help me?  
I am using: elasticsearch-6.5.1, kibana-6.5.2, logstash-6.5.1 on Windows Machine  
Configuration:  
input {  
file {  
path =\> "C:/Users/s5tn7jp/LogMonitoring/logs/\*"  
type =\> "marketshare"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
}  
}

filter { kv { field\_split\_pattern =\> " " } }

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"]  
index =\> "logstash"  
}  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }}
