Hi, For the initial implementation, we have decided to implement it as below, When tailing is enabled,
- A single file can be pointed out using the uri and it will be consumed and tailed. - If the uri points out a directory, the first file (when files are sorted in alphabetical ascending order) will be consumed and tailed. Thanks and regards!
