it seems like extra space added, the correct one is remove the space between - strict like

    command:
      -strict.perms=false

[naizhao]

Also, the

command: 
    - strict.perms=false

section in logstash01 must be removed, otherwise the following error will occur:

In my case the solution was:

1. To remove all occurrences of:

command: 
    - strict.perms=false

2. To change ownership of filebeat.yml and metricbeat.yml to root:root and then doing docker compose down and docker compose up again (without deleting any of the previously created files or volumes).

Not an ideal fix, but at least it got thins up and running for me. My guess is that some newer versions of metricbeat and filebeat don't recognise this startup option anymore.

I found in the docs it's a flag. Adding -- let my container start.

    command:
      - --strict.perms=false

[fulldeck]

this solved it for me

command: filebeat -e -strict.perms=false

sorry ive been AFK! i updated the strict perms for metricbeat and filebeat. i also removed the strict perms for logstash since i dont think that command existed the way i thought it did.

i'll mark this one as closed. we can open a new one if anything else crops up.
