[Filebeat] Windows: add_docker_metadata cannot extract Container ID

Hi,

I'm trying to get FIlebeat to send Docker metadata with logs. Filebeat starts up fine and sends logs correctly, only without Docker metadata.

My filebeat.yml looks like this:

filebeat.inputs:
    - type: log

      enabled: true
      paths:
        - C:\programdata\docker\containers\*\*.log
      processors:
      - add_docker_metadata:
          host: "npipe:////./pipe/docker_engine"

Using the debug option, I can see the following two relevant logs:

|2018-10-24T15:55:26.346+0200|DEBUG|[processors]|processors/processor.go:66|Processors: add_docker_metadata=[match_fields=[] match_pids=[process.pid, process.ppid]]|
|2018-10-24T15:55:26.409+0200|DEBUG|[add_docker_metadata]|add_docker_metadata/add_docker_metadata.go:128|Error while extracting container ID from source path: index is out of range for field 'source'|

For some reason the "match_fields" field is empty. On Linux "system.process.cgroup.id" I believe gets inserted here. However, I've been unable to find an equivalent for Windows. Is there any way to get this working on Windows?
