Hi,

Filebeat version is 7.10.2

According to [Configuring Input Type for Filebeat Module](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/configuring-input-type-for-filebeat-module/193819) I was trying to do the same for the index:

```auto
# cat /etc/filebeat/modules.d/haproxy.yml
# Module: haproxy
# Docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.10/filebeat-module-haproxy.html

- module: haproxy
  # All logs
  log.input.index: "filebeat-haproxy-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM}"
  log:
    enabled: true

    # Set which input to use between syslog (default) or file.
    #var.input: file

    # Set custom paths for the log files. If left empty,
    # Filebeat will choose the paths depending on your OS.
    var.paths: /var/log/haproxy/access.log

```

No errors, filebeat starts up and running, but filebeat-haproxy index is not created.

Any ideas why?

Thanks in advance!
