Hello,

I'm running filebeat 7.6.2 on AKS with the following configuration:

```auto
filebeatConfig:
  filebeat.yml: |

    filebeat.autodiscover:
      providers:
        - type: kubernetes
          hints.enabled: false
          templates:
            - condition:
                or:
                  - equals:
                      kubernetes.namespace: stage
                  - equals:
                      kubernetes.namespace: prod          

              config:
                - type: container
                  paths:
                    - /var/lib/docker/containers/${data.kubernetes.container.id}/${data.kubernetes.container.id}-json.log
                  multiline.pattern: '^[[:space:]]'
                  multiline.negate: false
                  multiline.match: after             
                  exclude_lines: ['^.+status":"20.".+path":"\/tenancy\/.+\/authorize.+$','.+200.+(POST|GET).+\/tenancy\/external\/(authorize|resource).+$']

    processors:
    - add_cloud_metadata: ~
    - add_kubernetes_metadata: 
        in_cluster: true
    - drop_event:
        when:
          or:
            - equals:
                kubernetes.container.name: "filebeat"                                
            - equals:
                kubernetes.container.name: "filebeat7"                  
            - equals:
                kubernetes.container.name: "logstash"                     

    output.console:
      pretty: true
      
    logging.to_files: true
    logging.level: info
    logging.files:
      path: /var/log/filebeat
      name: filebeat
      rotateeverybytes: 10485760 # = 10MB
      keepfiles: 7       

```

All modules are disabled.  
Getting the following error in filebeat log:

```auto

I'm having the same issue with 7.6.2 and AKS, in my case my config is something like this:

```auto
    filebeat.yml: |
      filebeat.autodiscover:
        providers:
          - type: kubernetes
            templates:
              - condition:
                  equals:
                    kubernetes.labels.app: myapp
                config:
                  - prospectors:
                      paths:
                        - /logs/myapp.*
                      tags: [myapp]
      output.elasticsearch:
        host: '${NODE_NAME}'
        hosts: '${ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS}'
        username: '${ELASTICSEARCH_USER}'
        password: '${ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD}'

```

And in the FileBeat logs I'm seeing these errors:

```auto
2020-05-05T18:11:59.872Z ERROR [autodiscover] cfgfile/list.go:96 Error creating runner from config: No paths were defined for input accessing config
2020-05-05T18:12:09.873Z ERROR [autodiscover] cfgfile/list.go:96 Error creating runner from config: No paths were defined for input accessing config
2020-05-05T18:12:19.873Z ERROR [autodiscover] cfgfile/list.go:96 Error creating runner from config: No paths were defined for input accessing config

I'm experiencing the same thing, in my case with 7.4.0  
config file is similar - autodiscover - kubernetes - condition (with or, not, contains) - container input etc...
