There are multiple files which I parse . however logstash seems to have missed 3 files , even though it has since\_db entries for it it will not resume when i stopped and restarted logstash .
> file {
> path =\> "/home/test/Downloads/ELK/\*\*/\*.gz"
> mode =\> read
> type =\> "upi\_logs"
> file\_completed\_action =\> log
> file\_completed\_log\_path =\> "/home/test/Downloads/ELK/completedFileLogs.txt"
> #sincedb\_path =\> "/var/lib/logstash/plugins/inputs/file/.sincedb\_53e23eb61e0f43f10fbe994941ff9669"
> #start\_position =\> beginning
> #ignore\_older =\> 0
> }
> As clear from above I am using read mode and write completed files in a txt file which does not have those 3 files . I tried enabling/disabling since\_db path .
