I am getting this error when I start the filebeat container in kubernetes:

```

Is there anywhere I can look at to get more information on the error. The container doesn't start up. Is there any way to keep the container alive so I can get on and see what is going on?

I tried adding this to the values file but it doesn't make any difference:

```auto
  livenessProbe:
    exec:
      command:
        - bash
        - c
        - sleep infinity
  readinessProbe:
    exec:
      command:
        - bash
        - c
        - sleep infinity

```
