We are having an issue with Logstash docker container . The container grows up to 1 TB in 2 or 5 days and when we explore the inside the container in the filesystem there are not folders containing near this space usage or at least we are not able to find it.
we explore the files inside container with
> # cd /
>
> # du -bsh \*
Then, on the physical server, we found the container file of logstash to 1TB in /var/lib/docker/containers.
We resolve the issue with the workaround of restarting the service in the docker swarm.
We are using logstash 7.2.1
Any idea what can be happening?
