I wrote up a yml based deploy to handle added a filebeat pod to each node in our EKS Cluster. When deploying the following config the pods are up and running with logs getting sent to elasticsearch.

However I went to re-implement this with Terraform, for which I have the following two files. One to deploy the configmap.

And a the contents of the config file is pointing to.

Using the terraform deploy causes the pods to crash with the following error:

```
2020-01-10T18:20:49.260Z	ERROR	instance/beat.go:916	Exiting: error in autodiscover provider settings: error setting up kubernetes autodiscover provider: unable to build kube config due to error: invalid configuration: no configuration has been provided
Exiting: error in autodiscover provider settings: error setting up kubernetes autodiscover provider: unable to build kube config due to error: invalid configuration: no configuration has been provided

```

Are there any thoughts as to why this would occur? It only seems to be an issue when using the filebeat.autodiscover module.

Thanks
