On the page documenting the use of Filebeat modules this bit of config is shown:
var.paths = ["/var/log/nginx/access.log*"]
That should be a colon instead of the equals, shouldn't it?

Hey Peter,
you can open a PR with the fix if you think that is incorrect, I haven't tested but yes... it not yaml notation.https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/filebeat/docs/modules-overview.asciidoc
[[filebeat-modules-overview]]
== Modules overview
Filebeat modules simplify the collection, parsing, and visualization of common
log formats.
A typical module (say, for the Nginx logs) is composed of one or
more filesets (in the case of Nginx, `access` and `error`). A fileset contains
the following:
* Filebeat prospector configurations, which contain the default paths where to
look or the log files. These default paths depend on the operating system.
The Filebeat configuration is also responsible with stitching together
multiline events when needed.
* Elasticsearch {elasticsearch}/ingest.html[Ingest Node] pipeline definition,
which is used to parse the log lines.
* Fields definitions, which are used to configure Elasticsearch with the
correct types for each field. They also contain short descriptions for each

@Peter_Becker That is definitively incorrect. Could you open a Github issue or PR? @dedemorton FYI
I can fix it. Thanks for pointing out the error.
Thanks, @dedemorton - I had been busy over the last few days and no time to do one myself.
