Note: I've already Google-ed before I ask. I see this issue [[ML] Uploading a file over 100MB via Kibana · Issue #61735 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/61735) which allowed to upload less than 1G files. As a dev, I know it would be hard to upload such a large file via browser and http. Some part of my job is to analyze static log files from 3rd-party partners. These files are structured, but since from different devices, they are using totally different separators , but still plain text. And due to the difference in device configuration which is I cannot control, the file size is from 10MiB to 6GiB. If the file is large than 1G per-file, instead of splitting it to multiple slices, is it possible to feed the log files to ELK stack? I see filebeat, but it seems used to gather streamed logs, instead of feeding those cold logs. If filebeat could help with me, please give me some link. Thanks in advance. ---

I'm not faimilar with filebeat but Logstash (L of ELK) could watch some folder for new file, convert them and send to Elasticsearch. You may use: > **[File input plugin | Logstash Reference \[8.0\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-file.html)** > **[Dissect filter plugin | Logstash Reference \[8.0\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-dissect.html)** > **[Elasticsearch output plugin | Logstash Reference \[8.0\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-elasticsearch.html)** ---
