Filebeat Config Failure

Hi All,

I am pretty new to the ELK stack.

I am trying to create multiple indices for different logs coming from the application.
I am not using logstash and I am getting json logs from the app.
But when I am trying to use the output.elasticsearch.indices option my setup is failing.
Below is the error message:
Exiting: error initializing publisher: wrong type,
expect map accessing 'output.elasticsearch.indices.0.when.contains' (source:'/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml')

I have tried multiple ways and this sounded promising but i am now stuck here.

Below is my filebeat.yml file i am using.

Also if the above idea will not work where do i configure in the filebeat.yml or is there anything i am missing here?
