Hi Folks
I am in the same boat i believe. I'm using Graylog Server 2.1.2 and Sidecar 
Collector 0.0.9 (filebeat 1.2.3). and I'm trying to exclude 2 different 
file types in a filebeat configuration, and cant get it to work as per web 
recommendations: 
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/1.2/configuration-filebeat-options.html,
 
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/configuration-filebeat-options.html,
 https://z0z0.me/configure-elasticsearch-logstash-filebeats-with-shield/

In my Graylog server WebUI I have a collector sidecar configuration setup 
and working fine, and i want to exclude 2 different filetypes...I have 
tried adding various versions of "exclude_files: ['\.gz$']" under 
System/Collectors -> Manage Configurations > 'select my configuration' > 
Configure Beats Inputs > Edit > Additional Fields, but nothing seems to 
work.

Can this work like i think it should? this indicates that it might be able 
to, but cant tell if this was fully implemented in the version im 
running: https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/563 

Any good input would be much appreciated :-) 

Ozzy
