Dear all,

I am using Logstash (6.4.0 in a Docker Image) to unzip (.gz files) and delete the processed file after EOF. My Input filter is like this,

input {  
file {  
path =\> "/input/\*\*/\*.gz"  
mode =\> "read"  
file\_completed\_action =\> "delete"  
}  
}

Interestingly, the file which are not being processed, get immediately processed after I make a restart of the Logstash Docker.

Please let me know, if I need to configure some more Options in the File plugin. Many thanks for the help.
