Hi everyone... I am transferring text files from my Application Server to Logstash Server using below logstash config file. The files transmitted are received perfectly, but some of the lines in the received text files are shifted up and down. Can anyone please tell me... how to correct this problem. I need the received files same as transmitted files ..

```auto
        input {  
            beats {   
                codec => plain
                port => "5044"       
            }   
        }

        filter {
            grok {
                match => ["[log][file][path]", "%{GREEDYDATA}\\%{GREEDYDATA:filename}.txt"]
            }
        }

        output {
            file {
                codec => line {
                format => "%{message}"
                }
                path => "E:/logs/destination/%{filename}.txt"
            }
        }

```

You will need to set pipeline.workers to 1 and make sure pipeline.ordered is set to auto or true.
