I use filebeat to collect docker container logs. The log is collected by ID, but the corresponding container name cannot be collected. So I tried to add metadata for the docker container, but I couldn't succeed（Auto discovery can also collect docker logs, but it can't use multiple configurations like input）
The current configuration is as follows:
```auto
filebeat.config.inputs:
enabled: true
path: /root/filebeat/*.yml
reload.enabled: true
reload.period: 60s
processors:
- add_docker_metadata:
host: "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
#match_source: true
output.logstash:
hosts: ["192.168.1.251:5044"]
max_procs: 1
queue.mem:
events: 256
flush.min_events: 128
flush.timeout: 5s
logging.level: info
logging.to_files: true
logging.files:
path: /var/log/filebeat
name: filebeat.log
keepfiles: 3
permissions: 0644
```
Specific business log：
```auto
- type: docker
containers.ids:
- '2e2b4073b0c751732634682a03ecd6e1433fe1f2c7703ce1235ff3b6a071147e'
- '27cdc8fdecfd58c0f8bcd2971964bcea72f6f2dd600443972bde55b34e24fb1b'
- '341c6baf93754cf8c6083a159f1bf0b690c9512f2d0c125a65e709ab59693bea'
tags: ["mysql_console_pre"]
fields:
service: mysql_console
fields_under_root: true
tail_files: false
```
I can collect docker logs, but I can't get the corresponding metadata。
