Hi, I'm trying to ship Fortigate300E Log to my Elasticstack with topo: Fortigate syslog port 514 -\> Filebeat (fortinet module) -\> Elasticsearch -\> Kibana. I have 2 question:

First, is it possible?

And when I run filebeat `filebeat setup -e` with config (below comment) , then it error `Exiting: 1 error: error loading config file: invalid config: yaml: line 21: did not find expected key` I have check and not find the cause. Hope to get help. Thanks

```

# This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common

# For more available modules and options, please see the filebeat.reference.yml sample
# configuration file.

# ============================== Filebeat inputs ===============================

filebeat.inputs:

# Each - is an input. Most options can be set at the input level, so
# you can use different inputs for various configurations.
# Below are the input specific configurations.

- type: log

  ### Multiline options

  # Multiline can be used for log messages spanning multiple lines. This is common
  # for Java Stack Traces or C-Line Continuation

  # The regexp Pattern that has to be matched. The example pattern matches all lines starting with [
  #multiline.pattern: ^\[

  # Defines if the pattern set under pattern should be negated or not. Default is false.
  #multiline.negate: false

  # Match can be set to "after" or "before". It is used to define if lines should be append to a pattern
  # that was (not) matched before or after or as long as a pattern is not matched based on negate.
  # Note: After is the equivalent to previous and before is the equivalent to to next in Logstash
  #multiline.match: after

I can't see anything immediately wrong with your config myself. Do you have any other modules enabled?  
What if you run that again with `filebeat -e -d "*"` to enable debug?

Hi warkolm,

I have try debug by that command but it's still return: `Exiting: 1 error: error loading config file: invalid config: yaml: line 21: did not find`

```
[root@localhost ~]# filebeat modules list
Enabled:
fortinet

```

This is my full report ( Can't upload here cause limit characters)
