Facing an issue when a server reboots with Filebeat 7.10 and Docker. Filebeat will start slightly before Docker and not pick up Docker container logs. If you restart Filebeat, it will then pick them up. I could set startup delays/dependencies at the system level, but I feel like there should be a better solution for this. Here is my filebeat.yml config

```auto
filebeat.autodiscover:
  providers:
    - type: docker
      hints.enabled: true
      templates:
        - condition:
            contains:
              docker.container.id: '*'
          config:
            - type: docker
              containers.ids:
                - "${data.docker.container.id}"

```

What do the Filebeat logs show when this happens? Can you enable debug and then restart things to capture what's happening?

Turning on debug and disabling all logging except Docker, this is the only mention of Docker I see when filebeats starts:

```auto
DEBUG	[docker]	docker/client.go:48	Docker client will negotiate the API version on the first request.

```
