Hi, I am thinking of running filebeat in a docker container. But I wanna ship logs from the host. What is the best practice? Use a volume to make the host logs accessible from inside of the docker container? Or how? Thanks, Andreas

File beats in docker. How to access host logs?

Exactly. Log files of the host are are available under /var/lib/docker/containers. You need to mount this in order to access them and use docker prospector to read.
