I'm using elastic-agent (dockerized) in manual mode. Earlier I used the same setup, just a dockerized filebeat instead of dockerized elastic-agent. To avoid shipping duplicate logs after container restart, we persistet the filebeat registry. I'm trying now to persist the filebeat registry for the dockerized elastic-agent using the following configuration (elastic-agent.yml):

```auto
     management:
       mode: "local"
 
     filebeat:
       registry:
         path: /usr/share/elastic-agent/data/filebeat/registry
       logging: 
         level: info
         selectors: ["*"]
         to_stderr: true
         to_files: false
         to_syslog: false
         to_eventlog: false
         metrics.enabled: true
         metrics.period: 60s
 
     agent:
       retry:
         enabled: true
       monitoring:
         enabled: true
         use_output: default
         logs: true
         metrics: true
       logging:
         level: info
         selectors: ["*"]
         to_stderr: true
         to_files: false
         to_syslog: false
         to_eventlog: false
         metrics.enabled: true
         metrics.period: 60s
         json: false
         ecs: true
       reload: 
         enabled: true

```

I looks like the configurations below `filebat.*` are not recognized. My question is, should the config above work or not? And in case of running filebeat through the elastic-agent, can be made here config options like `filebeat.logging.*` in parallel to `agent.logging.*`?
