Hi all  
I`m trying to ship Docker container`s status' by dockerbeat, but can't get network status(no cpu, memory) from some containers using 'Network: host mode'.  
How can I do this with dockerbeat?  
Thanks for the help!

When running containers with `--network=host` I'd assume it isn't possible to get container-specific stats. With the container using the host's network stack it functions like any other (non-containerized) process on the machine, doesn't it?
