I have a standalone Elastic Agent with `filestream` input. I want to cleanup sent data.  
How to disable default processors `add_cloud_metadata` and others? I can drop fields, but I prefer to disable processor. In `filebeat` I can comment it in global list of processors, but I've found no way in `/etc/elastic-agent/elastic-agent.yml`.
