I suggest asking that question in a different thread so that people who know lots about beats but not about beats/cloud aren't put off by the title (and vice versa!) 🙂

It seems like there are already some similar Q/As kicking around for that though - eg ["Module directory not found" - filebeat looking in wrong place?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/module-directory-not-found-filebeat-looking-in-wrong-place/80805)
