Filebeat might be incorrectly configured or unable to send events to the output. To resolve the issue:

You can change this behavior by specifying a different value forignore_older.Make sure that Filebeat is able to send events to the configured output. Run Filebeat in debug mode to determine whether it’s publishing events successfully:
Shell ./filebeat -c config.yml -e -d "*"
