Hi,

We are having such trouble with Cisco IOS logs. We enabled cisco ios module but it has parsing error

```auto

Hi,  
The cisco IOS module only supports ACL logs as you can see [here](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/b9897e803fb52391d3d79f24e1eccbb2673d59d6/x-pack/filebeat/module/cisco/ios/config/pipeline.js#L16).
