HI ,
So am using spinnaker for deployment of our microservices to Kubernetes cluster.
How to use filebeat as a sidecar pattern with other application to deploy simultaneously?

Hi @Vivek_Samaga,
We normally recommend deploying one instance per node, it should be able to get logs from all the containers in the node: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/6.1/running-on-kubernetes.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/6.1/running-on-kubernetes.html)
That, compared with a sidecar per container will have more performance. Could you explain a little bit more about your use case? We can consider other options here
Best regards

So i don't have direct access to the node so i can't use `kubectl create` command.
We are working on CI/CD implementation with Jenkins to test, build and deploy the docker image to the server groups via spinnaker.
How can I achieve this?
Just like docker filebeat image?

I don't have much experience with Spinnaker, but my understanding is that you can feed it with any Deployment yaml you want?

Yes, I have another question? If we deploy sidecar pattern in Kubernetes and forward the logs to logstash host, would it support?

Sending logs to logstash should work, yes
