I have an API end point which fetches traffic statistics from a Network Packet Broker, its curl equivalent command is:  
curl -s -k -X 'POST' '[https://10.0.0.1:8000/stats](https://10.0.0.1:8000/stats)' -H ' accept:application/json' -H 'Authorization: Basic jwdebgfuwibwdb' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"port": , "stat\_name":["np\_current\_pass\_rate\_bits"] }'

to convert this command into equivalent filebeat.yml format using httpjson input, how to give -d '{"port": , "stat\_name":["np\_current\_pass\_rate\_bits"] }' argument of the curl command in the filebeat.yml file
