I want to send cisco firewall logs to my elastic statck so I was trying to setup the siem for Cisco. I already have filebeat installed, so the next step is to enable the cisco module. This is what doesn't work.
root@elastic:/etc/filebeat# filebeat modules enable cisco
Error in modules manager: modules management requires 'filebeat.config.modules.path' setting
I'm sure its something simple, but I can't verify. Is it just adding the path to filebeat.yml? If so, what is the correct syntax?

This should already be set if you start from the default `filebeat.yml` that comes with the Filebeat package, otherwise you probably want to add the line `filebeat.config.modules.path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml` (which is the default setting, and tells it to look in the `modules.d` directory inside the Filebeat package)
