How to Fluentd read file log or text ?

[Henry Vo]

I'm new to learn about fluentd elasticsearch and kibana. I have a problem to ask for help:

My problem is import some logs or text into fluentd, I have find  in_tail plugin but it's just log the location of the log file, I'm looking forward to receiving help from people. Thanks!

[Mr. Fiber]

Sorry I can't understand your situation correctly.

Could you tell me your detailed situation?

Why in_tail can't handle your file?

I have logs format json and when I run with in_tail, my collect.pos file just show like this: 

/var/log/test/log  000000000011995   00000000000540307

I have input is file log and want to output is log zip(out_file).

I have use out_file to log my data, I don't know that I missing understand in_tail or config not correct (config like example on page fluentd)

Could you set "read_from_head true"?

Removing previous pos_file is needed.
