Docker autodiscover feature: losing tail of logs when container gets stopped

I'm running docker container without --rm option to make sure this is not because log file is removed by docker. The problem is that not all events are getting sent to elasticsearch: messages are ignored since the point when docker spawns stop event, because autodiscover manager closes harvester too early:

WARN	[cfgwarn]	docker/input.go:29	EXPERIMENTAL: Docker input is enabled.
INFO	log/input.go:111	Configured paths: [/var/lib/docker/containers/f50305f7/*.log]

... after 10 seconds ...

INFO	log/harvester.go:249	Reader was closed: /var/lib/docker/containers/f50305f7/f50305f7-json.log. Closing.

After inspecting events in my index, I've realized only 530 first messages were indexed out of 568.

Is there any solution?

I think this can be related with this issue https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/6694

Thank you!
