vector suddenly stopped monitoring files

[lhh528634141]

A note for the community

vector version: 0.51

Using a DaemonSet to collect service log files, the logs are continuously updated. However, Vector stops reading new file，sometimes restart vector agent will be okay，and i do not know how to solve the problem, it confuse me about 1 month

my config is as follows:

sources:
      info:
        type: file
        include:
          - "/var/log/*/*/*/info.log"
        fingerprint:
          strategy: device_and_inode
        ignore_checkpoints: false
        read_from: end
        max_line_bytes: 1048576
        ignore_older_secs: 86400
        max_read_bytes: 131072
        rotate_wait_secs: 3600
