When using filebeat 6.6.2 inside windows container I can't add docker metadata from npipe:

filebeat.yaml

```auto
filebeat.inputs:
- type: docker
  containers:
    path: "C:\\ContainerLogs"
    ids: "*"
  processors:
    - add_docker_metadata:
      host: ["npipe://./pipe/docker_engine"]

output.logstash:
  hosts: [${LOGSTASH_HOSTS}]
  ssl:
    certificate_authorities: ["C:\\ssl\\ca.crt"]
    certificate: "C:\\ssl\\tls.crt"
    key: "C:\\ssl\\tls.key"

logging.level: debug

```

Log:

```auto
ERROR instance/beat.go:911 Exiting: Error in initing input: each processor needs to have exactly one action, but found 2 actions

```

I've tried different host syntax

```auto
  processors:
    - add_docker_metadata:
      host: ["npipe:////./pipe/docker_engine"]

```

but the same error

```auto
ERROR instance/beat.go:911 Exiting: Error in initing input: each processor needs to have exactly one action, but found 2 actions

```

or these two

```auto
  processors:
    - add_docker_metadata:
      host: "npipe://./pipe/docker_engine"

```

and

```auto
  processors:
    - add_docker_metadata:
      host: "npipe:////./pipe/docker_engine"

```

with such error

```auto
 ERROR instance/beat.go:911 Exiting: Error in initing input: required 'object', but found 'string' in field 'filebeat.inputs.0.processors.0.host' (source:'C:\Filebeat\filebeat.yml')

```

How can I add docker metadata properly from npipe?

The config indentation is incorrect.

`host` needs to be moved to the right by two spaces:

```auto
  processors:
    - add_docker_metadata:
        host: "npipe://./pipe/docker_engine"

```
