Hi,  
I'm looking at the documentation here:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/master/configuration-metricbeat.html#enable-modules-d-configs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/master/configuration-metricbeat.html#enable-modules-d-configs)

When I try to list modules as outlined I get this error:

`metricbeat2017/10/30 07:46:06.540846 beat.go:346: CRIT Exiting: error loading config file: stat metricbeat.yml: no such file or directory`

Note: The service itself starts fine.

Regards,  
David

Hi @dawiro,

It looks like some files are not in place, could you please explain the install process you followed?

`modules` subcommand was introduced in 6.0, so it's not available on 5.6.3.

Modules instructions for your version are located at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/5.6/configuration-metricbeat.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/5.6/configuration-metricbeat.html) (notice the version select dropdown in the menu).

If you want to give the new layout a try you can download our latest RC version, just take into account it's not yet a stable release, so it's not recommended for production 🙂

Best regards
