title: Filebeat : data path already locked by another beat. Please make sure that multiple beats are not sharing the same data path
body: <p>Looking at the logs in one of the filebeat pods i can see this:</p>

  <p>as you can see the filebeat stopped with an error :</p>

  <p>After searching the problem in github/forum i found this :<br />
  <a href="https://discuss.elastic.co/t/data-path-already-locked-by-another-beat/219852/4" rel="noreferrer">https://discuss.elastic.co/t/data-path-already-locked-by-another-beat/219852/4</a></p>
  <p>Which looks like my problem,
  Im using the default filebeat-kubernetes.yaml , and there is no information in ELK / Filebeats docs on how to add unique paths in the filebeat-kubernetes.yaml<br />
  where do i add them and how do i make them unique?
  Thanks</p>
