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](https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/main/filebeat/input), and the inputs available with an Elastic license are [here](https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/main/x-pack/filebeat/input). ---

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