Dears, good morning!  
I'm trying to set up without success in my compose file sending the logs of my containers / services to the elastic, below the configuration I'm using.  
I am using elasticstack 7.2.0 and below the configuration of my service logs  
My logstash works on port 5044 tcp, the service / container loads normally, but logs are not sent to logstash and therefore to elasticsearch.

```
logging:
  driver: "gelf"
  options:
      gelf-address: "tcp://192.168.251.108:5044"
     tag: "grafana"
     env: "producao"         

```

It will be that you can help me or indicate some documentation of configuration to help me.

Why don’t you use beats framework to ship logs?

We also have a automatic integration (  
Docker module) to docker and kubernetes through which you can ship logs. Just need need to install beats.

You can refer [this blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/monitoring-kubernetes-and-docker-containers-with-beats-logs-metrics-and-metadata) and [this webinar](https://www.elastic.co/webinars/elasticsearch-log-collection-with-kubernetes-docker-and-containers) for more details.
