Hi David, We ran logstash-forwarder in a separate container, and shared volumes between app containers and a forwarding container. That's problematic as we move toward a clustered environment, because it means running multiple instances of logstash forwarder, or doing something peculiar with user permissions. Instead we'd like to delegate the log routing and filtering to the host OS via Docker's log driver.
