Autodiscover + Docker decoding JSON: EOF

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hi,

i am trying to get some nginx-logs from the container shipped to elasticsearch... but i am getting some json-decoding errors using filebeat 6.2.3.
Weird thing is, these errors apper for already running containers.
If i start a new nginx:alpine container the logs appear just fine...

filebeat.autodiscover:
  providers:
    - type: docker
      templates:
        - condition:
            contains:
              docker.container.name: "nginx"
          config:
            - module: nginx
              access:
                prospector:
                  type: docker
                  containers.stream: stdout
                  containers.ids:
                    - "${data.docker.container.id}"
              error:
                prospector:
                  type: docker
                  containers.stream: stderr
                  containers.ids:
                    - "${data.docker.container.id}"

What version of docker are you using? Is the problem easily reproducible or it only happens from time to time?
