Hi All,

I have received the following error message in the /var/log/messages - while filebeat won't start:  
_Exiting: error unpacking config data: more than one namespace configured accessing 'queue' (source:'/usr/asdf/elasticbeats/filebeat/etc/filebeat.yml')_

My filebeat.yml:

```auto
filebeat.config:
  modules:
    path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
    reload.enabled: false

```

I do not see the duplication of the queue tag at all. Please help me to find it!  
Thanks

Sorry,  
My bad - memory and disk queue at the same time.
