Beats version 8.15.5

Known Issues

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.
