Hello team,  
I am getting below error in filebeat.yml.  
I have commented all other lines and just added output.Elasticsearch  
Can anyone please help me here.

```auto
output.elasticsearch:
  hosts => ["10.115.6.288:9200"]

```

That configuration is wrong, it should be:

```auto
output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["10.115.6.288:9200"]

```
