I don't appear to have the suricata.yml module. Am i missing something?  
Installed ELK on a freebsd11.2 machine.

Have you installed the default distribution and not the OSS one? I believe this is required as the Suricatam module requires the free Basic license and is not open source.

You need to first change to the default distribution which has the free Basic license as default.
