I have installed filebeat 1.2.1, when I start filebeat with kafka as the output I am seeing no outouts defined error message the followings is the filebeat config.

output:
kafka:
hosts: ["localhost:6667"]
topic: "log_1000"
client_id : "log_1000"

the format in the filebeat.yml is properly intended, here in the post it is not..
