Hello,

we are trying to replace our filebeat configuration using the new elastic agent.

We had no problem to ingest the logs (we are using the Custom Logs integration), we have problem when we try to add custom properties available in filebeat.

There is no documentation on the internet about what can be entered in "Custom configurations".

We were able to define the following properties:

```auto
pipeline: <ingest_pipeline_name>
multiline:
  type: pattern
  pattern: '^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}'
  negate: true
  match: after

```

We would like to have the ability to define the following two properties present in filebeat:

```auto
ignore_older: 48h
exclude_files: ['\.gz$']

```

By inserting them at the root level, the last two configurations are not considered by the agent.

Elastic Version: 8.7.0  
Custom Logs Version: 1.1.2

Thank you,  
Emilio
