logstash should collect the latest data , but it collect the data hours ago  
for example, the newest log is 19:00:00 , but it collect the 08:00:00 data

this is my configure  
input {  
file {  
path =\> ["/applogs/\_metrics/span\*.log"]  
start\_position =\> "end"  
}

# stdin { }

}  
output {  
kafka {  
codec =\> plain {  
format =\> "%{message}"  
}  
topic\_id =\> "open\_falcon\_span"  
broker\_list =\> "192.168.2.177:9091,192.168.2.178:9092,192.168.2.179:9093"  
}  
#stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
}  
i dont understand why
