@jordansissel The problem is in the inner loop in match_against_groks. The outer loop in method filter retains the state of 'matched' just fine, but the inner loop overwrites 'matched' for...

I think the documentation should explicitly say that for a file input setting ignore_older to zero causes any file more than zero seconds old (likely all of them) to be...

I think it is the version of Java that determines whether this blows up or not. It does not happen with ``` jruby 9.2.7.0 (2.5.3) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 25.201-b09...

I think this would be a huge help to people who use backslash in filenames on Windows -- it doesn't work. They specify a path that would work in any...

Yes, that is exactly the change required.

@karenzone Any comments?

That is correct, the [code](https://github.com/phutchins/logstash-input-mongodb/blob/097cc9be8bb57754ec4006e174f0cb5cf3ff6b65/lib/logstash/inputs/mongodb.rb#L96) sorts the since column in ascending order and uses the first value as its placeholder. Then when it does a fetch it fetches everything greater...
