I have these settings

```auto
logging:
  level: error
    files:
      name: elastic-agent
      keepfiles: 7
    metrics:
      enabled: false

```

logging.level:error is not working. I am still seeing info and warning level logs.  
logging.keepfiles is not working, I actually had set it to 2 and restarted agent a bunch of times and the old files never went away.  
logging.metrics.enabled:false is not working. Still getting "message":"Non-zero metrics in the last 30s" for both auditbeat and filebeat in the logs.

Is this a known or new bug or am I doing something wrong?  
OS: Windows 10  
Agent 8.12.0 Standalone.
