I currently deployed ELK version `6.8.0` and i see my file in the sincedb not getting updated `/data/registry-1` while the same config works fine in version `6.7.x`.

My input file section below..

```
input {
  file {
    path => ["/data/rm_logs/*.txt"]
    start_position => beginning
    sincedb_path => "/data/registry-1"
    max_open_files => 64000
    type => "rmlog"
  }
}

```

Blow is the `sincedb` file ..

`-rw-r--r-- 1 logstash logstash 0 Jun 1 07:18 /data/registry-1`

Does anyone know why this is so, would appreciate any clue or help.
