Hi,

In the Autodiscover documentation page of Heartbeat, the example for Kubernetes uses `hosts` under the HTTP configuration, whereas it should be `urls`. I spent an hour or so digging into this.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-autodiscover.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-autodiscover.html)

If you set `hosts` instead of `urls`, following the example, you get:

```auto
Check failed for config &{{<nil> } <nil> 0xc42011fd40}: job err missing required field accessing 'urls', won't start runner

```
