Hi All,
I've been trying to setup a logstash export to the elastic cloud. I can parse the files into the correct format and send them to stdout, but when I try to send them to the cloud, I get the following error:
//[logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.cgroup] One or more required cgroup files or directories not found: /proc/self/cgroup, /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct, /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu
I've also got output logs of the correct data entering the pipeline, but nothing is showing up in the elastic search or kibana when I check them.
Really not sure where to go from here. I've found [https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/9999](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/pull/9999) which indicates that the issue is known and has occurred in previous issues, but the mitigation strategies recommended don't seem to have an impact.

The update from PR 9999 went out in v6.4.2.
This [PR for the ES docker image](https://github.com/elastic/logstash-docker/pull/97/files) shows what to do to supply values for that update.
