I am using the filebeat nginx module and want to exclude certain lines. Therefore I want to add a `drop_event` processor to the module configuration. This fails with following error message:
```
filebeat.modules:
- module: nginx
access:
enabled: true
var.paths:
- "/var/log/nginx/*.access.log*"
input:
processors:
- drop_event:
when.regexp.message: "/status"
error:
enabled: true
var.paths:
- "/var/log/nginx/*.error.log*"
```
Here is the relevant section of my `filebeat.yml` configuration:
```
Exiting: Error while initializing input: each processor must have exactly one action, but found 2 actions (drop_event,add_locale)
```
Reading through the source of the filebeat module, it seems the add\_locale event is added by the module. Any way to resolve this, or should I add the processor on a higher level?
