title: logstash file input configuration
body: <p>My simple config looks like this.
  I have created a dummy folder in my home directory and created some log files in it.
  My config file looks like this.</p>
  
  <pre><code>input{
      file{
          type =&gt; "dummylog"
          path =&gt; [/home/rohit/dummy/*.log" ]
      }
  }
  output{
      elasticsearch{
          embedded =&gt; true
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now after running logstash i am unable to see in any files in web ui of logstash. Those files have not fetched into elasticsearch. I am using an embedded elasticsearch so no need to run a separate process. Can anyone help me where i am committing mistake?</p>
