Currently docker logs to stdout. I need to write to /usr/share/logstash/logs.

```auto
 cat logstash.yml 
path.logs: /usr/share/logstash/logs

```

logstash.yml is in /usr/share/logstash/config.

I trigger logstash from command line

````auto
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f /usr/share/logstash/conf.d/ -w 2 --path.settings=/usr/share/logstash/config ```
````
