Hi,  
I am using filebeat 6.6.2 version with autodiscover for kubernetes provider type. After version upgrade from 6.2.4 to 6.6.2, I am facing this error for multiple docker containers.

**ERROR [autodiscover] cfgfile/list.go:96 Error creating runner from config: Can only start an input when all related states are finished: {Id:3841919-66305 Finished:false Fileinfo:0xc42070c750 Source:/var/lib/docker/containers/a5330346622f0f10b4d85bac140b4bf69f3ead398a69ac0a66c1e3b742210393/a5330346622f0f10b4d85bac140b4bf69f3ead398a69ac0a66c1e3b742210393-json.log Offset:2860573 Timestamp:2019-04-15 19:28:25.567596091 +0000 UTC m=+557430.342740825 TTL:-1ns Type:docker Meta:map[] FileStateOS:3841919-66305}**

Don't see any solutions other than setting the Finished flag to true in the registry file. Any permanent solutions? Thanks in advance
