Hi,
I have a docker-compose file like this,
```
version: "3.4"
services:
logstash:
build:
context: .
volumes:
- /opt/elk-logstash/conf/pipeline:/usr/share/logstash/pipeline/
- /opt/elk-logstash/conf/ssl:/usr/share/logstash/conf/ssl
- /opt/elk-logstash/conf/logstash.yml:/usr/share/logstash/config/logstash.yml
ports:
- "5044:5044"
environment:
LS_JAVA_OPTS: "-Xmx3584m -Xms3584m"
restart: always
```
And a Dockerfile like this,
> FROM [docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:7.1.1](http://docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:7.1.1)
LS\_JAVA\_OPTS of 3548m isn't applied,
within the docker container it has applied a default 1g setting,
```
bash-4.2$ ps -eo args
COMMAND
/bin/java -Xms1g -Xmx1g -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75 -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Djruby.co
bash
```
Isn't LS\_JAVA\_OPTS the env var to change java memory settings?
