I am just getting started with ES + Kibana + Filebeat.

How can I create a visual list of just the log lines form docker containers?

I was able to capture log activity using this:

- [Filebeat + Dgraph Docker Exploration - First Attempt · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/darkn3rd/bb925a12ffb7b684da437d354114abd0)

But I would like to create a list that just hows some of the information, mainly the log messages.

I am not sure how to just see the logs themselves from docker container's stdout/stderr. I am mainly want to get the `.fields.message`. Some other items from that would be:

- `."container.name"` - to know what container this is from
- `.fields.@timestamp` - when it occurred
- `.fields.container.image.name` - as this containers the version of app used.

How could I do this with Kibana + ES + Filebeat?

I managed to figure this out with tinkering with Kibana.

```auto
http://localhost:5601/app/discover#/?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:0),time:(from:now%2Fd,to:now%2Fd))&_a=(columns:!(container.name,message),filters:!(),index:'filebeat-*',interval:auto,query:(language:kuery,query:''),sort:!())

```
