Hi,

If I understand the documentation correctly the best practice for shipping logs of docker-container is the following:

using container input

```auto
- type: container
  stream: stdout
  paths:
    - "/var/log/containers/*.log"

```

And if I need metadata of the container the processor add\_docker\_metadata could help:

```auto
processors:
      - add_docker_metadata:

```

But unfortunately I am not able to use docker, I need to use podman in rootless mode.

Is there any way to use the processor with podman to enrich the event with podman's metadata?

Thanks,  
Andreas
