i am getting error on executing below filebeat yml. if i remove last three lines on json, everything looks ok. But as per the elastic document those three lines are the latest one in case i am reading json log. Then what i am doing wrong in here? #=========================== 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 ---

Looks like space is the issue in here. I removed one space from all those three lines and things looks ok.config test is working fine now. ---
