in my helm values file I have the following and I was going to comment out the second log to see if it makes a difference

processors:  
# [Add Kubernetes metadata | Filebeat Reference [7.7] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.7/add-kubernetes-metadata.html)  
- add\_kubernetes\_metadata:  
in\_cluster: true  
host: ${NODE\_NAME}  
matchers:  
- logs\_path:  
logs\_path: "/var/log/containers/"  
resource\_type: "container"  
- logs\_path:  
logs\_path: "/var/lib/docker/containers/"  
resource\_type: "container"  
but when it tries to start the pod I get the following:  
Exiting: Failed to start crawler: starting input failed: error while initializing input: fail to unpack the kubernetes configuration: invalid logs\_path defined for resource\_type: container │  
│ , valid value is `/var/log/containers/` accessing 'filebeat.inputs.0.processors.0.add\_kubernetes\_metadata' (source:'filebeat.yml')

Hello @Tony_Powell , welcome to the Elastic community

I have to kindly ask you to post you the content of your configuration and the error message as `preformatted text`, since it has hard to understand if there is any formatting value (like the error message let me presume) without proper formatting

Thanks!
