I get the following error while running the command `sudo filebeat setup` on my centos7 linux ec2 instance.  
I have two modules nginx and System enabled.

 ![error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/b/1bd564986645f782cdbf7a99119c659e6a7e88d4.png)

The error above only comes when i enable the system module. The nginx module works absolutely fine and i can load the dashboard as well.  
I have not changed the default system module config since all the default system logs are being used.

What wrong am i doing?
