Hi, I am using 5.6.8 logstash/elastic in Ubuntu12.

run the following commands:

./bin/logstash -f logstash.conf

logstash.conf :

input {  
file {  
path =\> "/tmp/access"  
}  
}

filter {

```
grok {
  match => { "message" => "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}" }
}

```

}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
}  
}

but, the result is ( I set log.level: trace):

…………………………………………

no stop for serveral hours, then I stop with ctr-c

I don't know the reason, and  
"[2018-03-20T23:19:53,526][DEBUG][logstash.inputs.file] \_globbed\_files: /tmp/access: glob is: []" is normal?

Can you help me?
