Multiple prospector path

Elastic Stack Beats

Hey, thank you for your help, here is what you requested:

  prospectors:
# Each - is a prospector. Below are the prospector specific configurations
-
  # Paths that should be crawled and fetched. Glob based paths.
  # To fetch all ".log" files from a specific level of subdirectories
  # /var/log/*/*.log can be used.
  # For each file found under this path, a harvester is started.
  # Make sure not file is defined twice as this can lead to unexpected behaviour.
  paths:
  - "/coriant/sdn/logs/tc/Heap_Logs/*"
  #- c:\programdata\elasticsearch\logs\*
  input_type: log
  fields:
    log_type: heap
-
paths:
- "/coriant/sdn/logs/tc/GC_Logs/*"
input_type: log
fields:
log_type: GC

  • 2 prospectors to different files (One to Heap_Logs, another to GC_Logs)

  • im using filebeat 1.3

  • here is the logging from filebeat, i havent seen it before, but still i dont understand what it meants, the file path is working fine for the first prospector but not for the second even though they are very similar
