Hey, is there a way to set close\_timeout for all filebeat inputs in one place (or change the default)? I have a lot of inputs and setting it for every single one is just redundant. I'm on version 6.6 and tried different combinations but nothing has worked for me. thanks, Marek ---

No, it's not possible. It is an input level setting right now. But you could open an enhancement request on GH: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new?template=feature-request.md](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new?template=feature-request.md) ---
