when i use the command :./filebeat enable modules suricata, there's a error message:  
[root@localhost filebeat]# ./filebeat modules enable suricata  
Error in modules manager: modules management requires 'filebeat.config.modules.path' setting

I can not find the path of the "filebeat.config.modules.path", where is the path or directory?
