Hi, i have recently added a gelf input option to my elastic stack for docker container log monitoring. When i do this i can monitor logs from elk just fine but can't see them from inside the container. Is there a way to do both? Is it a gelf issue? Is it doable at all? If yes what driver i need to use?

Thanks in advance.
