Does filebeat support fetching logfiles from defined kubernetes pods?

[Crusader]

Out of the box filebeat fetches each container in k8s environment.
However i have some pods which belong to plugins or controllers which i dont want to process.

I already had a look into:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/filebeat-reference-yml.html
...

Use this to read from all containers, replace * with a container id to read from one:

#containers:

stream: all # can be all, stdout or stderr

ids:

- '*'

This would help me restrict on container level. But there is no option which would help me to restrict to pod name level ?

Any ideas if my usecase is supported somehow ?

Thank you for your time !

@Crusader I think you could achieve what you want using Filebeat's autodiscover for k8s and with template conditions to start or skip log monitoring.
