How to Force Logstash to Reparse a File?
By default, Logstash's file input plugin tracks the parts of a file it has already processed. However, when you want Logstash to reparse a file starting from the beginning, you would need to set the sincedb_path option to /dev/null as demonstrated in the following code:
input {
file {
path => ["/var/logs/my_logfile"]
start_position => "beginning"
sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
}
}
This configuration sets up the Logstash file input plugin to read logs from the specified file path. It instructs Logstash to read from the beginning of the file by setting its start_position to beginning. Additionally, it disables sincedb tracking by assigning /dev/null, enabling the file to be reprocessed.
