Hi, I'd like to inquiry does it possible to have the feature about filebeat to have test modules feature like metricbeat same feature? I feel metricbeat test modules is good for testing the modules working well, but filebeat didn't have same feature. Please consideration this and thanks. jerryw ---

Hi @jerrywang1974, Thanks for this suggestion, indeed this would be really useful. Metricbeat and filebeat modules have quite a different nature so it wouldn't be so straightforward to support the same in filebeat, but I think that something could be done. Could you [open a new issue in github](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new) for this feature request? ---
