if we are running elastic/logstash/kibana in docker containers how do you setup the logging so that the logs show up in the stack monitoring? when you click on the link it saids to use filebeat but since each component is running in a container how would you go about doing that? would you layer the container with filebeat or configure logs to goto a different place ? what is the best practice?
