What is the best practice to switch from legacy to metricbeat monitoring for clusters deployed in docker.?  
How should I modify our docker compose file to incorporate metricbeat for internal Elasticsearch monitoring.  
Is there any guideline document which I can follow ?

My elastsicsearch setup looks like:

should I put 1 or 3 metricbeat containers on each host to monitor particular elastic container?  
is this the way?

my docker compose is like:

```auto
version: "3.3"
services:
