From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticsearch):
>Elasticsearch can be used to search all kinds of documents. It provides scalable search, has near real-time search, and supports multitenancy. "Elasticsearch is distributed, which means that indices can be divided into shards and each shard can have zero or more replicas. Each node hosts one or more shards, and acts as a coordinator to delegate operations to the correct shard(s). Rebalancing and routing are done automatically [...]"

:construction: In the next release (v7.0.0), Filebeat client will not be included inside mailserver container anymore. The recommended practice is to run Filebeat in its own container (documented [below](#filebeat-container)).

# Filebeat container
Configuration for each container is mainly done through _Hints based autodiscover_ (following [Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-autodiscover-hints.html) practice).
By default, filebeat will **not** retrieve logs from any containers, you must enable logging using Docker labels as documented below.
## Configuration
### (Method 1) Using existing ELK
Update `config/filebeat.docker.yml` with your existing logstash endpoint:
```
output.logstash:
hosts: ["elk_host_or_ip:5044"]
```
Adapt your Docker Compose file or use the one provided:
```
cp docker-compose.filebeat.yml.dist docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -d
```
### (Method 2) Run ELK embedded on the same host
Filebeat will use the configuration file `config/filebeat.docker.yml`. For basic needs, you don't need to update the file (logstash endpoint is `127.0.0.1:5044'`).
