Hello Team,

I am facing similar issue like [Filebeat and Kubernetes: excluding log files](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-and-kubernetes-excluding-log-files/117837/12) but for filebeat 6.7.0.

I am installing it using helm chart.

Earlier it was 7.0.1 which wasnt compatible with 6.4 Elasticsearch and Kibana thus we decided to downgrade the version to 6.7.0.

I am using helm chart stable/filebeat 1.7.0.

I can harvest /vr/log/messages but with both the configurations specified in the above url, i still couldnt get it working, to re-iterate, i do not see any error logs but just that could not see filebeat harvesting /var/log/container/\*.log.

Any inputs or help would be highly appreciated.
