I am using filebeat 7.9.3. The logs are being transferred to kafka. But I see an error in the logs inside docker container of filebeat. The error details are given below:
```

```
Can anyone guide me in this regard. The error appears in the logs of the filebeat container. This line tells us what kind of problem is occuring:
`filebeat_1 | 2021-06-01T17:10:20.272Z ERROR [reader_docker_json] readjson/docker_json.go:204 Parse line error: parsing CRI timestamp: parsing time "this" as "2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999Z07:00": cannot parse "this" as "2006"`
But I am unable to figure it out. Can anyone guide me ? Thanks
