Filebeat for gz files

Question

Does filebeat support ingesting from gz files? If I unzip the files before ingesting, they grow in size very big.

I did a search on the Elasticsearch forum, but could not find anything useful.

Answer 1

Filebeat doesn't support gz files right now. But there is an ongoing request for that, you can track the progress here.
