Perfect Answer! Saved me a whole lot of time. If it were on stack over flow I would have done a +1. Thank you ---

For ignore\_older it says By default, this option is disabled, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I had trouble getting logstash to see a file, and touching it fixed it. ---

> For ignore\_older it says By default, this option is disabled, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It was disabled on the master branch about a week ago, but it's definitely still in effect in 2.x. Haven't checked 5.0. ---

I should have specified, I'm using 5.0.0. Is there a setting for this that will make it process the file no matter how old it is? ---

Setting `ignore_older` to 0 (zero) should disable the feature. ---
