I have a custom image for filebeat and metricbeat. So every time when they restart, `filebeat setup` and `metricbeat setup` will run before `filebeat` and `metricbeat`.
I wonder which folders I should mount under a named volumn in order to avoid duplicate actions.
I know that data folder for firebeat should be mount or there will be duplicated logs.
Should I mount data for metricbeat as well? Should I mount kibana for both metricbeat and filebeat. There is no doc out there about this, or at least I haven't found them.
Thank you all.

Hi @UchihaYuki
Take a look at the directory layout: [Directory layout | Metricbeat Reference [8.1] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/directory-layout.html)
You need to make sure the `data` folder persists container restarts/recreation.
That goes for Filebeat and Metricbeat, they use this folder to persist any state they need.
