Is it possible to provide a directory of log input config fragments in 7.x? We were doing this in 6.x with `filebeat.prospectors.path` and dropping in config fragments based on Puppet roles for each machine. This way we could keep a generic global config and not have to write a full filebeat config for every single permutation of each machine's role. E.g., in 6.x: ```auto filebeat: prospectors: enabled: true path: /etc/filebeat/conf.d/*.yml [followed by standard output and logging options] ``` ---

Bump ... anyone? Not being able to do this seems like a large step backwards. ---
