If you don't setup systemd in the container, fluentd shows following messages by default configuration.

[warn]: #0 [in_systemd_bootkube] Systemd::JournalError: No such file or directory retrying in 1s
[warn]: #0 [in_systemd_kubelet] Systemd::JournalError: No such file or directory retrying in 1s
[warn]: #0 [in_systemd_docker] Systemd::JournalError: No such file or directory retrying in 1s

You can suppress these messages by setting disable to FLUENTD_SYSTEMD_CONF environment variable in your kubernetes configuration, e.g.:

      containers:
        - name: fluentd
          image: fluent/fluentd-kubernetes-daemonset:v1-debian-elasticsearch
          env:
            - name: FLUENT_ELASTICSEARCH_HOST
              value: 'elasticsearch'
            - name: FLUENT_ELASTICSEARCH_PORT
              value: '9200'
            - name: FLUENT_ELASTICSEARCH_SCHEME
              value: 'http'
            - name: FLUENT_UID
              value: '0'
            - name: FLUENTD_SYSTEMD_CONF
              value: 'disable'
