Hello,
I have a working .conf file (it is working on my local disk). But when I change the path (I use file plugin) to my network disk Z, logstash doesn't detect any logs without sending any errors (with --verbose enabled).
Version I use : Elasticsearch 6.6.1
Kibana 6.6.1
Logstash 6.6.1
I red in the documentation that using file plugin is not advised but I can't make filebeat working with my multilines logs.
Thank you

I found the solution : put ip of your volume instead of Z.
