Hi, I have a Kubernetes cluster, where in pods I should read logs of one application (Airflow) located in such structure: **/usr/local/airflow/logs/{jobname}/{jobname}/{timestamp}/1.log** (example: **/usr/local/airflow/logs/somejob/somejob/2022-03-31T17:21:44.563123+00:00/1.log** ).  
Seems easy, I just need to use Kubernetes autodiscover with this template of path **/usr/local/airflow/logs/\*\*/\*.log** , but in filebeat logs I see that harvester not starting reading files located there. My filebeat.yml:

```auto
filebeat.autodiscover:
  providers:
    - type: kubernetes
      templates:
        - condition:
            equals.kubernetes.container.name: airflow-web
          config:
            - type: container
              paths:
                - /usr/local/airflow/logs/**/*.log
              tail_files: true
output.logstash:
  hosts: ["logstash:22004"]

```

Funny fact that my filebeat cant read files located in **/usr/local/airflow/logs/somejob/somejob/2022-03-31T17:21:44.563123+00:00/1.log** but when I'm trying to read containers logs in path **/var/log/containers/\*-${data.kubernetes.container.id}.log** I can see containers logs in Kibana, so this problem is not with logstash output. But I really need logs in **/usr/local/airflow/logs/somejob/somejob/2022-03-31T17:21:44.563123+00:00/1.log**

Maybe I missed something 🧐 Thanks in advance 😉 P.S. Container name is airflow-web (that's for sure).

Could you please share the debug logs of Filebeat?
