title: Why does Fluent-bit use the varlibdockercontainers volume?
body: <p>There is an official manifest for the deployment of the daemonset <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fluent/fluent-bit-kubernetes-logging/master/output/elasticsearch/fluent-bit-ds.yaml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fluent/fluent-bit-kubernetes-logging/master/output/elasticsearch/fluent-bit-ds.yaml</a></p>
  <p>Line 49 defines the volume <code>varlibdockercontainers</code>.</p>
  <p>I don't understand why the Fluent-bit needs to read data from the folder <code>/var/lib/docker/containers</code>.</p>
