Description
The text around settings in the mode
section of the documentation is somewhat ambiguous and can be misconstrued:
If `read` is specified, these settings can be used:
* `ignore_older` (older files are not processed)
* `file_completed_action` (what action should be taken when the file is processed)
* `file_completed_log_path` (which file should the completed file path be logged to)
If `read` is specified, these settings are ignored:
* `start_position` (files are always read from the beginning)
* `close_older` (files are automatically 'closed' when EOF is reached)
For example, ignore_older
is applicable to both tail
and read
, file_completed...
are both applicable to read
only. It may make sense to rework this section to improve clarity.
