Description

My Filebeat instance, running in a Docker container on the bclinux For Euler release 21.10 (LTS-U3) operating system, starts normally without any errors in debug mode. However, it inexplicably restarts automatically after 3 minutes. My Docker version is Docker version 20.10.14, build a224086.
I tried both Filebeat 7.10.0 and Filebeat 8.19.9, and both exhibited the same problem. However, Filebeat 7.10.0 starts normally in a Docker container on BigCloud Enterprise Linux release 7.6.1905 (Core), with Docker version 19.03.14, build 5eb3275. I would like to know why this is happening.

Research direction

Start by reproducing Filebeat in Docker on bclinux For Euler 21.10 with the stated Docker versions, comparing it with BigCloud Enterprise Linux 7.6.1905; inspect Filebeat and container logs around the three-minute restart. Done means identifying the restart cause and documenting or fixing the behavior, verified on the affected and comparison environments.
