Hi Team

My elk is on docker and I'm mounting sincedb file to mounted volume.

I changed the directory of logstash file input and **recreated** the docker container.

I see log data of only one file in elasticsearch though having 5 matching files for the input pattern.

I opened sincedb file and i saw this

But, none of the above files are in Elasticsearch. Also, there is no index created for that date pattern.

I opened sincedb after some time, All of them disappeared. I'm able to see only this.

Not sure why this is happening. I checked multiple times. and everytime sincedb file is changing.

However, my concern is data from that folder is not indexing into es. I see data only from one file despite having 5 files. Any suggestions on this ?

here is my input config:

```
 file {
        path => "/usr/share/logstash/data/sincedb/logs/phxalfresco-6bfdbdcc47-8pbb5_logs/access-2020-**.log"
        type => "access-log"
         sincedb_path => "/usr/share/logstash/data/sincedb/.sincedb"
}
    }

```

Thanks for your time
