According to this [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.x/filebeat-module-gcp.html), I have set up the `gcp.yml` file as written with the settings intact (firewall and vpcflow is `enable: false`)

But i keep getting this error whenever I run `sudo filebeat setup -e`

```auto
2021-05-21T09:02:25.232Z	ERROR	cfgfile/reload.go:258	Error loading configuration files: 1 error: Unable to hash given config: missing field accessing '0.firewall' (source:'/etc/filebeat/modules.d/gcp.yml')
Loaded Ingest pipelines

```

My full `gcp.yml` file is as below

```auto
- module: gcp
  vpcflow:
    enabled: false
    var.project_id: my-gcp-project-id
    var.topic: gcp-vpc-flowlogs
    var.subscription_name: filebeat-gcp-vpc-flowlogs-sub
    var.credentials_file: ${path.config}/gcp-service-account-xyz.json
    #var.internal_networks: ["private"]

  firewall:
    enabled: false
    var.project_id: my-gcp-project-id
    var.topic: gcp-vpc-firewall
    var.subscription_name: filebeat-gcp-firewall-sub
    var.credentials_file: ${path.config}/gcp-service-account-xyz.json
    #var.internal_networks: ["private"]

  audit:
    enabled: true
    var.project_id: <my prod name>
    var.topic: sample_topic
    var.subscription_name: filebeat-gcp-audit
    var.credentials_file: ${path.config}/<something>.<something>

```

Did you try transforming them into this configuration format: [beats/gcp.yml.disabled at master · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/x-pack/metricbeat/modules.d/gcp.yml.disabled) ?
