Hi

metricbeat.config.modules:  
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/\*.yml  
reload.enabled: false  
module: system  
period: 30s  
metricsets: ["filesystem"]

But still metricbeat not sending filesystem data into elastic index.

Hey @aniketdatir,

It seems that the format of your configuration file is not correct, I guess that this is a problem when pasting to the forum. When pasting configuration, please try to use the `</>` button to enclose the code.

Do you have the `module: system` configuration in the `metricbeat.yml` file? Modules configuraton should be in the `modules.d/*.yml` files. Do you have a `system.yml` file there?
