editBehind the scenes, each module starts a Filebeat input. Advanced users
can add or override any input settings. For example, you can set
close_eof to true
in the module
configuration:
- module: nginx access: input: close_eof: true
Or at the command line when you run Filebeat:
-M "nginx.access.input.close_eof=true"
You can use wildcards to change variables or settings for multiple
modules/filesets at once. For example, you can enable close_eof
for all the
filesets in the nginx
module:
-M "nginx.*.input.close_eof=true"
You can also enable close_eof
for all inputs created by any of the modules:
-M "*.*.input.close_eof=true"
