Hi everyone  
I use metricbeat to get metrics from docker swarm, I have metricbeat on node manager and worker but not getting any index on docker,  
i tried output metricbeat to file but what i get is only system module which i have enabled before, no any information regarding docker module  
I install docker swarm and use portainer to manage the containers  
Do I have it installed correctly, can anyone help me.  
Thanks.
