It worked! I deleted .management-beats index and the configuration works now. ---

YAY! So happy to hear that! In the near future we will take steps to prevent these issues, but for now just avoid using any of the following keys in the `other` yaml field `setup`, `queue`, `management`, `output`, `filebeat.*`, `metricbeat.*` Using one of these fields can cause things to get into a bad state ---
