Create custom index while sending logs from filebeat to elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hi i've setup filebeat(7.17.7) to send logs to elasticsearch(8.5.1)
The logs are getting shipped but to the default index that is filebeat 7.17
Here is my filebeat.yml

output.elasticsearch:
  # Array of hosts to connect to.
  hosts: ["43.204.205.20:9200"]

  output.elasticsearch.index: "nexus-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
    setup.template:
     name: 'nexus-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}'
     pattern: 'nexus-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}'
     enabled: false
  username: "elastic"
  password: "minutus"
  setup.ilm.enabled: false
  setup.template.overwrite: true

If i add
#index: "nexus-%{[agent.version]}-%{+yyyy.MM.dd}"
filebeat service fails instead of above config giving error attempted to start quickly.
