I am using docker image elastic/heartbeat:6.8.8, and container keeps getting restarted.

Apologies for the delay here.
There's a known bug with that version of heartbeat that was just patched (it's not present in 7.x versions) where multiple ports, when used with the `tcp` monitor type would cause a hard crash. I can't tell if that's happening here because your monitor config is not included.
If that's what the cause is, the work around is to have a separate config line per port (single value per monitor).
