TIP: The first line of each external configuration file must be an input
definition that starts with `- type`. Make sure you omit the line
+{beatname_lc}.config.inputs+ from this file.

For example:
+{beatname_lc}.config.inputs+ from this file. All <<filebeat-input-types,`input type configuration options`>>
must be specified within each external configuration file. Specifying these
configuration options at the global `filebeat.config.inputs` level is not supported.

Example external configuration file:

[source,yaml]
