Hi,

I am using docker-compose file to bring up Filebeat, Logstash, Elasticsearch & Kibana containers.  
I want Filebeat to read logs and export them to Logstash. Need to apply Grok patterns in Logstash.

Getting this error while stating Filebeat container,

> 2019-11-05T08:54:43.640Z INFO instance/beat.go:369 filebeat stopped.  
> 2019-11-05T08:54:43.640Z ERROR instance/beat.go:911 Exiting: No monitoring reporter configured

Filebeat config is as below,

```
filebeat.config:
  prospectors:
    path: ${path.config}/prospectors.d/*.yml
    reload.enabled: false
  modules:
    path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
    reload.enabled: false

processors:
- add_cloud_metadata:

filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  paths:
    - /var/log/*.log

output.logstash:
  enabled: true
  hosts: ["logstash:5044"]

setup.kibana:
  host: "http://kibana:5601"
  username: elastic
  password: "${ELASTIC_PASSWORD}"
  protocol: "http"
  ssl.enabled: false
  ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/usr/share/filebeat/certs/ca/ca.crt"]

xpack.monitoring.enabled: true

```

Logstash configuration is given below,

```
input {
    beats {
        port => "5044"
    }
}
filter {
    grok {
        match => { "message" => "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}"}
    }
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ['elasticsearch']
    user => 'elastic'
    password => "${ELASTIC_PASSWORD}" # read password from logstash.keystore
    ssl => true
    cacert => '/usr/share/logstash/config/certs/ca/ca.crt'
  }
}

```

Is this configuration correct?

Docker images I am using in docker-compose file are,  
[docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:6.6.0](http://docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:6.6.0)  
[docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.6.0](http://docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.6.0)  
[docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:6.6.0](http://docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:6.6.0)  
[docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.6.0](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.6.0)
