Filebeat vs filebeat-oss

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Is there any documentation on which functionality in filebeat is proprietary (Elastic-licensed)? As in, not included in filebeat-oss.

filebeat on-disk (8.16.1, Linux) is 50+% bigger than filebeat-oss.
Has anybody compared other usage, like RAM etc - are the non-oss components loaded or otherwise invoked?

I don't think that a documentation exists.

But in the github repository you can see which inputs are available only on Elastic License.

If I'm not wrong, the inputs available in filebeat oss are here, and the inputs available with an Elastic license are here.

Thanks, that indeed seems to be the best source right now.
