I am trying to enable netflow module on my VM but I can't seem to able to do so. I have installed the whole ELK stack with the latest versions available.

Does anyone have any idea how can I enable this module or how can I get it to be shown on the available module list?

Hi!

Can you confirm that you are not using OSS version?  
[https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases)

`netflow` is under basic license so you need to download `Filebeat 7.6.0` and not `Filebeat OSS 7.6.0`

C.

Hi! I doubt I'm using an OSS version. Seems like I'm using 6.8.6 which seems different from thee version number you have provided me with. All I did was to install Filebeat using APT with the command (sudo apt-get install filebeat). How do I install Filebeat 7.6.0?
