Hi All,

Usually I used to to read Nginx Logs via the [Nginx integration](https://docs.elastic.co/en/integrations/nginx) available, but now the nginx app is dockerised within a container.

The [docker integration](https://docs.elastic.co/en/integrations/nginx) available in integrations as i can see will not read the nginx logs.

How can I read the nginx logs for a dockerised nginx container?

This is the current config.

Any help is really appreciated.

Is the issue that, the log paths inside the nginx docker container is not accessible from the nginx integration? Can you volume mount the nginx logs to the host and pass the same path?
