YAML is really fussy about tabs vs spaces; I'm almost certain that you have only tabs, or tabs + spaces for one of elasticSearchUrl or daysToKeep

YAML only uses double space for indentation. NO TABS. In this specific case make sure that elasticSearchUrl and daysToKeep are indented with 4 spaces.

Of cause its nearly impossible to visually notice the difference, unless you have your editor visually show tabs (recommended).

Best advise I can give is to use http://yamllint.com/ to check YAML syntax.

I fight with this every time I use YAML. Grr.

@bitpusher I'm going to close this as resolved.

Reopen if you're still having issues

@mrdavidlaing - yes, sorry. thanks for the guidance.
