Mentioning path in filebeat.yml

Elastic Stack Beats

Hi All,

The name of the log file that I need to mention in filebeat.yml is access-202010210000

I tried putting the following but it does not seem to work. Please help:

filebeat.inputs:

  • type: log
    paths:
    • /opt/tables/httpd/instances/https-hap-lok/logs/access-date +%Y%m%d"0000"

Thanks

I noticed that in the log, it displays the filename not as expected:
