Hello , I installed filebeat 7.0.0 in my ubuntu vm. I did all necessary config. But , when I enter "sudo filebeat setup" command in terminal I get this output :  
Index setup complete.

Hello,

I am using same configuration in another host (ubuntu 16.04) and filebeat setup completed without error.

@Burak_Cayir, I have also tested your config in Redhat but it has no problem. Everything is executing fine.

The error you have mentioned is mainly occurs due to indentation problem or missing parameter in filebeat.yml file. There is no such syntax related problem in your shared filebeat.yml file.
