Is it safe to use the same DB file for multiple inputs? #8488

Pretty much as per title: Is it safe to use the same DB file for multiple inputs? I've tried it and it seems to be fine in that it stores offsets of the files of multiple inputs. I'd still be interested to know if I'm supposed to use it that way or if one database file per input is "the way". |

I think it works by inode so the only complication would be if you're tailing the same file in multiple inputs then you won't get a per-input offset. |

I am not. My question stemmed more from an unsureness if the db files would be dealt with correctly. It being sqlite though, there seems to be a good chance that they are. I think I'm good here, thanks! |

Yeah, I'd probably just be tempted to come up with the worst-case scenario as a test and verify it on your specific infra. |
