</div>

my path is defined as  
path=\> "/mnt/logs/x.log-\*"

So it should be watching every file present

- /mnt/logs/x.log-1
- /mnt/logs/x.log-2  
and so on...

But does logstash support watching multiple files in parallel? Or is it going to process x.log-1 first and then sequentially jump on to x.log-2 .

Any kind of help will be appreciated! Thanks!
