Filebeat supports templates for inputs and modules.

filebeat.autodiscover:
  providers:
    - type: nomad
      node: nomad1
      scope: local
      hints.enabled: true
      allow_stale: true
      templates:
        - condition:
            equals:
              nomad.namespace: web
          config:
            - type: log
              paths:
                - /var/lib/nomad/alloc/${data.nomad.allocation.id}/alloc/logs/${data.nomad.task.name}.stderr.[0-9]*
              exclude_lines: ["^\\s+[\\-`('.|_]"]  # drop asciiart lines
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This configuration launches a `log` input for all jobs under the `web` Nomad namespace.

If you are using modules, you can override the default input and customize it to read from the
`${data.nomad.task.name}.stdout` and/or `${data.nomad.task.name}.stderr` files.

WARNING: The `docker` input is currently not supported. Nomad doesn't expose the container id
associated with the allocation. Without the container id, there is no way of generating the proper
path for reading the container's logs.
