Hi!

I have a question regarding heartbeat configuration inside heartbeat.yml file.  
I want to monitor multiple urls using http. I have added needed urls into heartbeat.yml and it is working. I am getting data in Elasticsearch and Kibana.

My question is regarding urls parameter in heartbeat.yml.  
Urls need to be added in one line

For example

```
- type: http
  # List or urls to query
  urls: ["http://server:1245/Bla/bla", “http://server2:1245/Bla/bla”]

```

For one or two urls it is not a problem but when multiple urls are needed then to enter all of them in one line and later to edit is a little bit tricky and errors are possible.  
Is it possible to enter urls in multiple lines ( one line pro url) ?

heartbeat configuration is based on yaml. [See docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/config-file-format.html).

the `urls` setting is just a list. Using the `[]` syntax, you are free to use newlines.

alternatively do:

```auto
- type: http
  urls:
    - "http://server:1234/...."
    - "http://server2:8080/..."

```
