hi  
How to add multiple namespaces in input

```
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: filebeat-inputs
  namespace: "{{ namespace }}"
  labels:
    k8s-app: filebeat
data:
  kubernetes.yml: |-
    - type: docker
      containers.ids:
      - "*"
      processors:
        - add_kubernetes_metadata:
            in_cluster: true
            namespace: some namespace

```

The above config works for one name space but fails when i do this

```
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: filebeat-inputs
  namespace: "{{ namespace }}"
  labels:
    k8s-app: filebeat
data:
  kubernetes.yml: |-
    - type: docker
      containers.ids:
      - "*"
      processors:
        - add_kubernetes_metadata:
            in_cluster: true
            namespace: namepspace-01
            namespace: namepspace-02

```

Then filbeat fails

Is there a way to add multiple namespaces in filebeat so as to read data only from them  
is autodiscover the way ??

Thanks
