Filebeat isn't collecting lines from a file [filebeat-not-collecting-lines]

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 disabled 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:
sh
```
./filebeat -c config.yml -e -d "*"
```
