Hi

I have a container that is not sending logs to stdout, if i try nothing will show up.  
So how can I config filebeat to collect logs from another container outside stdout.  
Do I have to put the logs on the host and have filebet create a volume  
like

```
/var/log/mylogs:/var/log/:rw

```

I can have the container do a file logging to a place such as /var/log. (which will be var/log/mylogs) on the host.

What access rights are recommended, on the log folder?

Have you tried the `container` input of Filebeat? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-container.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-container.html)

Yes, shibboleth is sending some of it logs to this. But not all. The rest is sent to logs inside the container as var/logs/shibboleth.  
I will try to volume mount it.
