Support for handling rotated files as .gz files in filebeat

Elastic Stack Beats

Does filebeat support compressed files?
Our java application is writing the logs to log.json file using logback RollingFileAppender.
After 5MB the file is rotated like below :
arch_2017-10-23.1.gz
arch_2017-10-23.2.gz and so on.

Can I specify the arch*.gz in the paths for filebeat to capture the data in the rotated files?

Filebeat version used : 5.6.x

No, compressed files are not yet supported. For more information/progress have a look at this enhancement request.
