Hi

I have added the field "file\_completed\_action=\> "delete" but logstash don't delete files.

This is my logstash.conf and docker-compose

> input {  
> file {  
> path =\> "/usr/share/logstash/inputlogs/\*.csv"  
> start\_position =\> "beginning"  
> mode =\> "read"  
> sincedb\_path =\> "/usr/share/logstash/.sincedb"  
> file\_completed\_action =\> "delete"  
> }  
> }
> 
> filter {  
> csv {  
> separator =\> ";"  
> columns =\> ["Protocol\_Version","Site\_Producer\_Name","Site\_Producer\_ID","Site\_Sender\_  
> skip\_header =\> true  
> }  
> mutate{  
> remove\_field =\> ["Protocol\_Version","Site\_Producer\_Name","Site\_Producer\_ID",  
> }  
> date{  
> match =\> ["Event\_Timestamp", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"]  
> }  
> mutate{  
> remove\_field =\> ["Event\_Timestamp", "message", "host"]  
> }  
> }
> 
> output {  
> elasticsearch {  
> hosts =\> "elasticsearch:9200"  
> index =\> "lab-benchmarking-csv"  
> }  
> stdout{}

This is my docker-compose
