Hi everyone,  
I have container with latest logstash image so its v7.5.2, I chose this one because in past there was a problem with default host and port. In the latest version of logstash it looks that it works good but still i have a problem with connection. My host is in internal network, rabbitmq host is in internet, i need to use proxy to go outside. I added to docker run "--env https\_proxy=x.x.x.x." , i checked it in container and it's correct but logstash(ruby?) doesn't see this settings ☹ Do you know where can i set proxy for logstash/rabbitmq module?  
A simple client in python, I wanted to check the connection from the host, from my local computer it works but on container on host doesn't. The same problem, python doesn't take local proxy settings.  
I could see both situation in tcpdump, clients connect directly to rabbitmq host, not through proxy

This is what i have in logs:

I added it to my docker run, still the same situation
