I am running filebeat 7.3 on a Raspberry PI (running buster) shipping to Elastic cloud 7.3. I compiled filebeat from source following instructions from [@andig](https://gist.github.com/andig/650915e02b18cfe38de6516686977bca).

It is already successfuly shipping syslog and nginx logs.

I am having trouble enabling the netflow module (or any module in x-pack for that matter).

This is the result when I try to enable the module:

```
~/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/filebeat $ sudo ./filebeat modules enable netflow

Module netflow doesn't exist!

```

The x-pack modules are located in ~/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/x-pack/filebeat/module and ~/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/x-pack/filebeat/modules.d

I have tried the same with the googlecloud module, and have the same problem.

How should x-pack modules be enabled?

x-pack is licensed differently, so to include the x-pack modules when building from source you need to build in the x-pack directory:

```auto
cd x-pack/filebeat
make mage
mage build

```

At that point `./filebeat modules enable netflow` should work.

Thank you. It worked!
