Hi everyone. I'm trying to get filebeat working in kubernetes to ship logs from containers running on the same node over to Logstash. I am encountering a bit of a bizarre problem. _Some_ log messages appear to make it from filebeat to logstash. I turned on the console output plugin in filebeat and it looks like all the log messages are being picked up, but logstash is only getting some of them. I can't seem to find any evidence of errors on either the filebeat or logstash end, so I'm unsure of what's going on.

Has anyone seen anything like this before, or has any further debugging steps I could try? Thanks in advance!

For reference, I'm using logstash/filebeat v7.0.1
