Hello guys,
Trying to send docker logs by using GELF logging driver to Logstash. Have configured udp and other details in logstash conf file. How to validate whether we are sending logs to kibana.

```
Below is the logstash conf file.
input {
beats {
port => 5044
}
tcp {
port => 5000
}
gelf {
port => 12201
type => docker
}
}
## Add your filters / logstash plugins configuration here
output {
if [type] == "docker"
{
elasticsearch {
hosts => "elasticsearch:9200"
user => "xxxxx"
password => "xxxxx"
manage_template => false
index => "docker-%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
# document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
}
}
else
{
elasticsearch {
hosts => "elasticsearch:9200"
user => "xxxxx"
password => "xxxxx"
manage_template => false
index => "logstash-%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
# document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
}
}
}
```
