One way to do this would be to mount the host's log directory into the container that runs your log collector of choice. E.g:

docker run -d -v /var/log/:/path/in/container/ logstash <logstash options ...>

Note that you should be mounting the directory as opposed to the logfile itself. If you bind-mount the file, collection will cease after each log rotation, until you restart the container.
