Hi,

I am trying to get logs from docker container which is running apache/nifi on centos box. How can I use filebeat to get those nifi logs and forward it to logstash?

When I use command "docker logs d2c8975d5c26" I can see the logs . I also would like to forward daemon logs from "journalctl -u docker.service" if possible.

Thanks,
