Hello team!

I am trying to use the Jolokia module of Metricbeat to collect jmx metrics and get this error:

`failed to unmarshal jolokia JSON response '{"request":{"type":"version"},"value":{"agent":"1.6.0","protocol":"7.2","config":{"listenForHttpService":"true","authIgnoreCerts":"false","agentId":"","debug":"false","agentType":"servlet","policyLocation":"classpath:\/jolokia-access.xml","agentContext":"\/jolokia","serializeException":"false","mimeType":"text\/plain","dispatcherClasses":"org.jolokia.http.Jsr160ProxyNotEnabledByDefaultAnymoreDispatcher","authMode":"basic","streaming":"true","canonicalNaming":"true","historyMaxEntries":"10","allowErrorDetails":"true","allowDnsReverseLookup":"true","realm":"jolokia","includeStackTrace":"true","useRestrictorService":"false","debugMaxEntries":"100"},"info":{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"Apache","version":"8.5.6"}},"timestamp":1550758168,"status":200}': json: cannot unmarshal object into Go value of type []jmx.Entry`

I use this metricbeat conf:

```

```
