Hello All,  
I am getting error "Error creating runner from config: Can only start an input when all related states are finished" ,while using autodiscover in fIlebeat 7.4.2 .  
Below is my configuration file "filebeat.yml"

```
 filebeat.autodiscover:
   providers:
     - type: kubernetes
       host: ${K8S_NODE}
       hints.enabled: false
       hints.default_config:
         type: container
         finished: true
         paths:
            - /var/lib/docker/containers/${data.kubernetes.container.id}/${data.kubernetes.container.id}-json.log
         exclude_files:
            - filebeat-.*\.log
            - logstash-.*\.log
            - kibana-.*\.log
            - es-cluster-.*\.log
 output.logstash:
     hosts: ["${LS_HOST}"]
 xpack.monitoring:
     enabled: true
     elasticsearch:
         hosts: ["${ES_HOST}"]

```

I have tried a lot of option to resolve it , but didn't get success . Thank you in advance.
