[Logstash forwarder](https://github.com/elastic/logstash-forwarder), if that is what you are referring to, has been deprecated and replaced by Filebeat, which contains [functionality around discovery and collection with Docker](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/6.2/configuration-autodiscover.html). ---
