Could you please format your configuration? Based on the error message you have pasted here, it seems like there is an indentation problem in the file. If your format it, all whitespaces are preserved, thus it lets me see the error.

I could not really validate your config, because the formatting is not correct. But this should be working:

```auto
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
    - /inm/app/tengine/logs/*.log

output.logstash:
  enabled: true
  hosts: ["172.16.70.29"]

```

Let me know if that works.

</div>

```
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  enabled: true
  paths:
       - /inm/app/tengine/logs/*.log
output.logstash:
   hosts: ["xx.xx.xx.xx:5044"]

```

Now working properly, the format problem has been bothering me for a long time. thank you for your help
