I think the documentation should explicitly say that for a file input setting ignore_older to zero causes any file more than zero seconds old (likely all of them) to be ignored. It is different to filebeat, which setting it to zero disables the function.
The text around settings in the
mode
section of the documentation is somewhat ambiguous and can be misconstrued:For example,
ignore_older
is applicable to bothtail
andread
,file_completed...
are both applicable toread
only. It may make sense to rework this section to improve clarity.
