Hi All,

I have an ELK setup which has multiple filebeats in it and all these filebeat insert everything(All records) into one index, Will elasticsearch miss anything(Any Record) while reading records from multiple huge sources at the exact same timestamp ?? Or will it get Overwritten by the most latest one(whichever filebeat comes at last ) ?  
Please help me with this issue asap.

Thanks,  
Pramod
