Please answer the question: What files do you have in the current directory when you run the command above?

in remote/users/gagarwal3/tmp there is only one file which is the config file named uuuu.conf

That's odd. What if you start a shell using the Logstash image,

docker run --entrypoint /bin/sh -it --rm -v "$PWD":/remote/users/gagarwal3/tmp logstash

and try step into /remote/users/gagarwal3/tmp. Does the directory exist? Does it contain uuuu.conf?

What user does Logstash run as, root? Does root on your machine have access to /remote/users/gagarwal3?
