How configuration is applied to sidecard?

I’m running sidecar as a container with docker in a swarm environment. Eventually, containers may finalize due many reasons (restart service, etc.). I’m trying to figure out how to apply configuration automatically, without using graylog UI.
When container starts, the log shows “No configurations assigned to this instance. Skipping configuration request.”. So, is it possible to reuse an existing configuration of a dead container? How configurations are loaded? By node_id?

check the documentation on that: http://docs.graylog.org/en/latest/pages/sidecar.html#step-by-step-guide

The configuration is applied based on the collector to the sidecar - you need to make API call to Graylog to assign the configuration.
