Hello.

I've been taking a look into modules as a way to relieve Logstash load or replace it if not needed.

I Started testing nginx and loaded the module and dashboards, I'm surprised filebeat does not even parse the request object, in the doc, that task is delegated to either logstash or elastic plugin.

What's the scope of modules then? what kind of processing is expected to do at Filebeat ?  
Thanks.
