Hello! Could someone help? I'm setting up filebeat.  
The task is to send logs from the path /root/slk/log/\*.log

Configured such filebeat.yml:  
`filebeat.inputs:`  
` - type: log`  
` ﾠ enabled: true`  
` ﾠ paths:`  
` ﾠﾠ - /root/slk/log/*.log`  
`filebeat.modules:`  
`logging.files:`  
`logging.level: debug`  
`logging.to_files: true`  
`output.logstash:`  
` enabled: true`  
` hosts:`  
` ﾠ - "192.168.50.157:5044"`  
`setup.kibana:`  
`setup.template.settings:`

Such docker-compose:  
` version: '3.2'`

```
services:
  filebeat:
    image: elastic / filebeat: 6.2.4
    user: root
    command: filebeat -e -strict.perms = false
    hostname: 192.168.50.5
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /root/filebeat/filebeat.yml:/usr/share/filebeat/filebeat.yml
      - /root/slk/log:/root/slk/log:ro
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro

```

But when the container starts, it gives an error: Exiting: No modules or prospectors enabled and configuration reloading disabled. What files do you want me to watch?

I don’t understand why, I set everything up according to the documentation ..
