Hi,
Please try with below format :
> filebeat.prospectors:
>
> - type: docker
> containers.ids:
> - '\*'
or if you need more help about filebeat and container you can use auto-discover method below is the link for your reference.
> **[Autodiscover | Filebeat Reference \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-autodiscover.html)**
Hope this will help you!
Thanks,
