Can anyone explain how hint based autodiscover is configured with different docker level. I am little bit confused with its working.

Kindly help me out.

Thanks

The [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-autodiscover-hints.html) gives a general overview, but I'm not sure from your post what exactly you're looking for. Could you be more specific about what you're trying to do?
