I tried to configure filebeat GCP module to get audit logs from Google Cloud, and it failed to start.

```auto
Failed to start crawler: creating module reloader failed: error checking input configuration: no authentication credentials were configured or detected (credentials_file, credentials_json, and application default credentials (ADC)) accessing config

```

Here is mine gcp.yml

```auto
- module: gcp
  audit:
    enabled: true
    var.project_id: my-id
    var.topic: export-topic
    var.subscription_name: export-topic-sub
    var.credentials_file: ${path.config}/my-id-8c1d1b7210a9.json

```

In the same time once i done config with filebeat.yml, in the input section, creds file working fine.

```auto
- type: gcp-pubsub
  project_id: my-id
  topic: export-topic
  subscription.name: export-topic-sub
  credentials_file: ${path.config}/my-id-8c1d1b7210a9.json

```

Anything i can do about it?
