My filebeat (container from docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:6.1.2
) harvesters are being closed by the close_inactive and I don't want them to be. The documentation from close_inactive
from here states
When this option is enabled, Filebeat closes the file handle if a file has not been harvested for the specified duration.
...
You can use time strings like 2h (2 hours) and 5m (5 minutes). The default is 5m.
My file handles are being closed after 5 minutes. I know I can increase the close_inactive time, but the first sentence indicates that the option can be disabled altogether.
I've tried things like close_inactive: false
but no luck. How do I disable the close_inactive setting?
