hello!

I have a filebeat reading a document and sending the logs to kafka.  
My client has a single file that is overwritten every day.

I understand how the filebeat registry works when new records are added to the document but I don't know if it will work fine when all the file are "new".

My client is storing a catalog of assets and daily it deletes and overwrites the entire catalog in the file including again the assets that were there yesterday + the new ones.

Does this method affect to the registry of filebeat? does it recognize all as new entries?

Thanks in advanced!
