I'm wondering where should custom modules be stored in macOS, after installing Filebeat with brew.

In Linux, the default path is "/usr/share/filebeat/module/", but I can't find it in macOS.

Custom modules must be placed in `/usr/local/Cellar/filebeat/7.9.3/module/`, while the config files are in `/usr/local/etc/filebeat/`.

My issue was that I was placing the `module` dir in the config files.
