Hello,

I face some issues with Filebeat, I installed it et and configure the Filebeat.yml but when i run filbeat with the command : ./filebeat -e i have this errors and no results are found in Kibana

Hi!

It seems it is already tracked at [Filebeat s3 cannot parse jsonl file who's content-type is set to application/json](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/filebeat-s3-cannot-parse-jsonl-file-whos-content-type-is-set-to-application-json/239374) and there is already a WIP fix for it.

C.
