Hi All,  
I am beginner for ELK stack, Below my work scenario

- I am going to centralize logs from my Microservices

- Also i used ELK stack and i already config it in docker-compose.yml

- Kibana,Elasticsearch and Logstash are completly work without any Errors

- When i was run FileBeat locally without docker it works( i can see logs in Kibana through the logstash and Elasticsearch )

- But when i was going to read logs file from docker mounted file using file beat it doesn't work ("filebeat":{"harvester":{"open\_files":0,"running":0}})

- i have created docker volume with my local logs folder and filebeat container folder("$PWD/log:/usr/share/filebeat/newlogs")

**This is my Docker-compose File**  
\</\>  
filebeat:

```
image: docker-logs-elk/filebeat:8.1.0

build:

  context: filebeat/

  args:

    ELK_VERSION: 8.1.0

volumes:

  - "$PWD/log:/usr/share/filebeat/newlogs"

  - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"

depends_on:

  - elasticsearch

  - logstash

```

\</\>

**below is my filebeat.yml file**  
\</\>  
filebeat.inputs:

- type: docker

filebeat.config:

modules:

```
path: '${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml'

reload.enabled: true

```

filebeat.autodiscover:

providers:

```
- type: docker

  hints.enabled: true

```

output.logstash:

hosts: ["logstash:5044"]  
\</\>

**Below Filebeat's Logs**
