I am trying to find proper solution but haven't got any.  
My java application is running on kubernetes and creating logs inside the pod.  
I have to fetch those logs from filebeat to elasticsearch (running on the server).  
Please suggest that how we can fetch those application logs using filebeat, which are being created inside pods or any alternative to get those logs outside.
