Hello,

recently I decided to upgrade my stack to 7.15, during upgrade I discover that I can't install latest elastic-logging-plugin (docker plugin), future investigation shows that only following versions works in my case:

- 7.10.0 - previously used
- 7.11.0 - 7.12.0 - plugin installed without issue
- 7.13.0 - 7.15.0 - plugin installed but during installation following error are seen:

```auto
# docker plugin install elastic/elastic-logging-plugin:7.13.0
Plugin "elastic/elastic-logging-plugin:7.13.0" is requesting the following privileges:
 - network: [host]
 - mount: [/var/lib/docker]
Do you grant the above permissions? [y/N] y

```

same error can be seen during attempt of plugin activation (docker plugin enable)

Docker daemon doesn't have any specific extra configuration:

same error response can be seen in dockerd log:

```auto
beatSocket.sock: connect: no such file or directory

```

but I do not see any changes in requirements or configuration,  
does anyone aware about extra configuration or requirements to get this beatSocket?

Thanks.
