Hi all, I'm using logstash 7.10.0, I made the config file as

```
input {
 stdin{}
}
output{
 http {
  url => "{URL_SET_CLOG}" 
  format => "json" 
  http_method => "post" 
  headers => ["Authorization", "Bearer {CLOG_TOKEN}"]
  content_type => "application/json"
 }
}

```

on running logstash I'm getting following error
