Tail plugin still tails previously deleted files

[d0o0]

hi,
my log files are under path /data/logs/ and named as %Month-%Day.log
and i use telegraf logparser to monitor on /data/logs/**.log
everyday i will remove the files of yesterday.

when i use lsof and i find sooo many files deleted but still monitored by telegraf.
and i chack tail.go, can not find any way to close the opened file.

so, what should i do ?

@d0o0 Can you edit in the info in the bug report template, I added the form to your original post.

Just FYI: if you run a service telegraf reload, telegraf will let go all those deleted files.

Update: actually I just hit #3573 so it's not a good solution... unless you use from_beginning = true.

I'm having the same problem. I stopped telegraf and restarted and the tail plugin started tailing those files that were previously deleted.
