Hi All,

Thanks in advance.

I'm having issues with filebeat not pushing my Python logging messages to Logstash (not visible in Kibana).

Here is my logging config.

```
def get_module_logger(mod_name):
    """
    To use this, do logger = get_module_logger( __name__ )
    """
    logger = logging.getLogger(mod_name)
    handler = logging.StreamHandler()
    formatter = logging.Formatter(
        '%(asctime)s [%(name)-12s] %(levelname)-8s %(message)s')
    handler.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(handler)
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    return logger

logger = get_module_logger( __name__ )

```

Here's my filebeat.yml  
\> filebeat.inputs:

> ```
> - type: docker
> combine_partial: true
> containers:
> path: "/usr/share/dockerlogs/data"
> stream: "stdout"
> ids:
> - "*"
> exclude_files: ['\.gz$']
> ignore_older: 10m
> 
> filebeat.config:
> modules:

> reload.enabled: false

If I run a simple print statement, it does get forwarded to logstash and it's visible in Kibana. Ex. `print("{\"app\": \"mimidae\", \"info\": \"Still no SpitzTlmHk\", \"test\": \"Is it working??\"}")`

Thanks,  
Ry
