Hi,

I tried to use the new module, Nats but i encounter the following error:  
failure parsing Nats stats API response: invalid character '\<' looking for beginning of value.

Does anyone encounter this error?

Thanks!

Could you share your exact metricbeat config, NATS version and potentially the log file for it?
