Filebeat system pipeline setup fails

[dmgeurts (Djerk Geurts)]

I've enabled the system module, enabled syslog and auth in system.yml. Yet for some reason I still get this error:

$ sudo filebeat setup --pipelines --modules system
Exiting: module system is configured but has no enabled filesets

What else must I do, what am I missing?!

This is a Filebeat install on a Ubuntu 20.04 Logstash node, Elasticsearch and Kibana reside on separate servers.

$ filebeat version
filebeat version 8.2.3 (amd64), libbeat 8.2.3 [7826dc5e91c6e6d2487e05d3a8298f49041cd5c2 built 2022-06-08 15:51:35 +0000 UTC]

system.yml, I tried to set the paths, it made no difference:

# Module: system
# Docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/8.2/filebeat-module-system.html

- module: system
  # Syslog
  syslog:
    enabled: true

    # Set custom paths for the log files. If left empty,
    # Filebeat will choose the paths depending on your OS.
    #var.paths: ["/path/to/log/syslog*"]

  # Authorization logs
  auth:
    enabled: true

    # Set custom paths for the log files. If left empty,
    # Filebeat will choose the paths depending on your OS.
    #var.paths: ["/path/to/log/auth.log*"]

filebeat.yml, set filebeat.inputs.enabled to true, which made no difference either:

filebeat.inputs:
