For debugging purposes could you temporarily comment out the `output.elastiscsearch` section in your `filebeat.yml` and set this instead?

```auto
output.console:
  enabled: true

```

Then restart Filebeat and check if it's container logs are showing events corresponding to logs from your microservice container?
