 ==== Known Issues
 
 *Filebeat*
- - The Filestream input does not enforce the restrictions documented for the `clean_inactive` option, thus allowing configurations that can lead to data re-ingestion issues.
- - When `clean_inactive: 0`, Filestream cleans the state of all files on start up, effectively re-ingesting all files on restart. Set `clean_inactive: -1` to disable this behavior.
