Filebeat isn���t collecting lines from a file

Filebeat might be incorrectly configured or unable to send events to the output. To resolve the issue:

• If using modules, make sure the var.paths setting points to the file. If configuring an input manually, make sure the paths setting is correct.

• Verify that the file is not older than the value specified by ignore_older. ignore_older is disable by default so this depends on the value you have set. You can change this behavior by specifying a different value for ignore_older.

• Make sure that Filebeat is able to send events to the configured output. Run Filebeat in debug mode to determine whether it’s publishing events successfully:

  ./filebeat -c config.yml -e -d "*"
