I am using filbeat 7.6.2 in Kubernetes. I need to add custom processors like [beats-processor-fingerprint](https://github.com/andrewkroh/beats-processor-fingerprint) to this. I can find instructions to run filebeat in standalone mode with custom plugins, but not on where to add when it is packaged. To which directory the so file has to copied, when running in docker or kubernetes?

Sorry @jaks, I don't yet know the direct answer to your question but since you mentioned you'r using Filebeat 7.6.2, did you know that it comes with a [`fingerprint` processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.6/fingerprint.html) built-in now?
