In am currently setting up a workflow that requires a kubernetes filebeat instance that is running as a Deployment, StatefulSet or Pod. Basic idea: copy file to directory -\> filebeat reads file -\> logstash parse -\> etc. Is it possible to configure filebeat not to run as a DeamonSet ? ---

If you run Filebeat with the ECK operator you can chose between either running as a Deployment or a StatefulSet [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-beat-configuration.html#k8s-beat-chose-the-deployment-model](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-beat-configuration.html#k8s-beat-chose-the-deployment-model) ---
