Known issues

edit

Affecting all Beats

  • Beats Docker images do not log to stderr by default. The workaround is to pass the CLI flag -e or to set logging.to_stderr: true in the configuration file. 41118

Filebeat

  • The Filestream input does not enforce the restrictions documented for the clean_inactive option, thus allowing configurations that can lead to data re-ingestion issues.
  • When clean_inactive: 0, Filestream cleans the state of all files on start up, effectively re-ingesting all files on restart. Set clean_inactive to a very large value. For example, use clean_inactive: 43800h0m0s, which is 5 years.
