Is there any beats documentation regarding which features are in the oss version vs the Elastic version? Is it the different modules?

I found [this](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) but it doesn't really say how the beats differ between the versions

Thanks!

Hi. Thanks for your question. You can tell which features and modules require an Elastic license by looking for the X-Pack label in the docs. For example:
