When using the s3 input plugin with this configuration:

```
input {
  s3 {
    "bucket" => "my-bucket-name"
    "add_field" => {
      "service" => "aws-access-log-alb"
      "environment" => "demo"
    }
  }
}

```

I get these errors:

```
[ERROR] 2020-02-21 10:24:23.701 [LogStash::Runner] s3 - Unknown setting '"bucket"' for s3
[ERROR] 2020-02-21 10:24:23.702 [LogStash::Runner] s3 - Unknown setting '"add_field"' for s3

```

According to the [S3 input plugin docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-s3.html) this looks correct.

This is logstash verison 7.6.0. Recently upgraded from 6.8.0 where this config was working. Could anyone help me find out why these errors are showing up? Cheers!

I have figured this out, the quoted key names were the problem. Changing my configuration to this resolved it:

```auto
input {
  s3 {
    bucket => "my-bucket-name"
    add_field => {
      service => "aws-access-log-alb"
      environment => "demo"
    }
  }
}

```

I'll raise a PR for the documentation!
