I have a very basic pipeline.config:  
input {  
file {  
path =\> ["/var/log/mylog.log"]  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
}  
}

filter {

}  
output {  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"]  
index =\> "test"  
}  
}  
lets assume in my /var/log/mylog.log there are below records  
line1  
line2  
when i run logstash -f /etc/logstash/pipeline.config everything is okey but if i added line3 to /var/log/mylog.log all lines repeated to my index and i got repeated data..what is wrong?

Did you restart logstash? It may be the same problem described in [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/when-logstash-shutdown-renam-file-and-data-can-be-lost-or-duplicated/192669/3) thread, in which case there is no fix at this time.

Well i stoped the logstash service in order to make sure no othe process is running.. And run this pipeline by logstash binary.
