The resulting index does work for adding one field but every configuration I tried does not work for more than one field. Below works for one field but not more than one. Not sure what I am missing. Maybe a logstash config?

meticbeat.config.modules:  
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/\*.yml  
fields: {environment: "rrc102-198819"}  
#fields: [environment: "rrc102-198819", newfield: "ffoti"]  
output.logstash:  
hosts: ["35.231.161.65:5041"]

This was a typo in the config. meticbeat instead of metricbeat.
