I'm using Logstash 7.17.0, in that i'm trying to load file using pipeline.  
It is taking file based on size or checksum changes, but i wanted to pick the file even if the size same but change in file timings.

For example: i'm getting data everyday, in some cases i might get the same data like yesterday. But logstash is not picking the file if the size is same.
