Hello,  
I'm trying to run `filebeat -e` and getting this error:

```auto
2021-08-11T14:14:24.729Z	INFO	[monitoring]	log/log.go:130	Stopping metrics logging.
2021-08-11T14:14:24.729Z	INFO	instance/beat.go:412	filebeat stopped.
2021-08-11T14:14:24.730Z	ERROR	instance/beat.go:906	Exiting: Error in initing input: Error creating input. No such input type exist: 'gcp-pubsub'
Exiting: Error in initing input: Error creating input. No such input type exist: 'gcp-pubsub'

```

Everything is configured correctly (Logstash configuration file listens on the beats port and filebeat.yml is set to receive output from Logstash host with same port, and the input config with gcp-pubsub.) I know it should work as I've tested this exact pipeline on a different docker container. What could be the issue here?

Thanks
