Hi Team, Is there any way we can stop filebeat log rotation. I had changed the parameter rotateeverybytes to 1GB but still log folder I can see it is creating 1 KB file and getting difficulties to trace the error during ingestion. Could someone advise how to stop log rotation and moreover why it is generation 1KB file even if I mentioned 1GB. > logging: > level: debug > to\_files: true > files: > path: /var/log/filebeat/ > name: filebeat1 > rotateeverybytes: 1073741824 > keepfiles: 4 Thanks, Debasis ---
