I am testing a ELK and Beats integration on my local machine and want to fire up 4 docker containers with E, L, K and B. I'm unable to figure out how to install beats plugin for Logstash. Can someone please help me get this through? I must add that I'm trying to bring all these containers up with docker-compose. My DockerFile for logstash is as following:
> Blockquote
> FROM [docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:5.6.1](http://docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:5.6.1)
Logstash configuration file and pipeline files are mounted through docker-compose.

I think the beats input plugin should be bundled with Logstash by default.
