- Common problems
- Error extracting container id while using Kubernetes metadata
- Can’t read log files from network volumes
- Filebeat isn’t collecting lines from a file
- Too many open file handlers
- Registry file is too large
- Inode reuse causes Filebeat to skip lines
- Log rotation results in lost or duplicate events
- Open file handlers cause issues with Windows file rotation
- Filebeat is using too much CPU
- Dashboard in Kibana is breaking up data fields incorrectly
- Fields are not indexed or usable in Kibana visualizations
- Filebeat isn’t shipping the last line of a file
- Filebeat keeps open file handlers of deleted files for a long time
- Filebeat uses too much bandwidth
- Error loading config file
- Found unexpected or unknown characters
- Logstash connection doesn’t work
- Publishing to Logstash fails with "connection reset by peer" message
- @metadata is missing in Logstash
- Not sure whether to use Logstash or Beats
- SSL client fails to connect to Logstash
- Monitoring UI shows fewer Beats than expected
- Dashboard could not locate the index-pattern
- High RSS memory usage due to MADV settings
- Contribute to Beats
