Hello,

I am using helm --set command line parameter to override filebeatConfig at run time [https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/blob/master/filebeat/values.yaml](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/blob/master/filebeat/values.yaml)

Errors I get:  
`Error: template: filebeat/templates/daemonset.yaml:29:27: executing "filebeat/templates/daemonset.yaml" at <include (print .Template.BasePath "/configmap.yaml") .>: error calling include: template: filebeat/templates/configmap.yaml:13:35: executing "filebeat/templates/configmap.yaml" at <.Values.filebeatConfig>: range can't iterate over`

I am trying to override as yaml string literal.

```auto
filebeat.yml: |
                        filebeat.inputs:
                        - type: docker
                          containers.ids:
                          - '*'
                          processors:
                          - add_kubernetes_metadata:
                              in_cluster: true

```

Please advise.

Could you verify if all indents in the file are correct?
