I manually appended the lines to a file using echo "2020-09-09T11:07:56,826 DEBUG test log file , send to logstash" \>\>test.log in powershell. restarted filebeat service. It's no luck. Tried to check the publish message below are the logs. 2020/09/10 11:29:02.576607 output.go:109: DBG output worker: publish 5 events 2020/09/10 11:29:02.583426 sync.go:105: ERR Failed to publish events (host: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*.local:5044:10200), caused by: EOF 2020/09/10 11:29:02.586376 single.go:91: INFO Error publishing events (retrying): EOF I m not seeing the appended logs in kibana. filebeat sends data to logstash. logstash to ES. All logs are seen in kibana except the appended log lines. Please help. ---
