Hi Team,

We have deployed filebeat v7.15 daemon sets on Openshift v4.7

We are able to connect external logstash by using default path: /var/log/containers/\*.log

We need to setup only one particular Openshift project application log path and it needs to be forwarded to external logstash.

filebeat.yml: |-  
filebeat.inputs:  
- type: container  
paths:  
- /var/log/containers/\*.log  
processors:  
- add\_kubernetes\_metadata:  
host: ${NODE\_NAME}  
matchers:  
- logs\_path:  
logs\_path: "/var/log/containers/"

Application log path inside project pods is /opt/eap/standalone/logs/test.log

Kindly help me with the configuration yaml to forward this application log path to external log stash and to visualise it on kibana.

Thanks in advance
