I am using filebeat in a docker. I am getting logs sending to kibana working good. I want to my Docker Host Ip(EC2-instance) address rather than my container ip. I used fileds called beat.name. beat.ip adrress seems my getting docker host(container ID) but not my ec2 ip address. How can i get my ec2 ip address than my docker container IP.  
TIA

Using network mode `host` at container start should do the trick.
