The official [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.1/plugins-inputs-http_poller.html#plugins-inputs-http_poller-options) says that only `urls` is required. When I start Logstash I get the following error:

```
[2018-02-05T14:44:05,836][ERROR][logstash.inputs.http_poller] Missing a required setting for the http_poller input plugin:
input {
http_poller {
  schedule => # SETTING MISSING
  ...
 }
}
```
