I have multiple docker containers in host.

For example :-

1. tomcat process docker container,
2. elasticsearch process docker container,
3. postgresql process docker container.

And Logstash are running in seperate docker container in same host.  
How logstash will read logs from containers and use logstash-input-file plugins.
