I am shipping the logs from apache to elastic search through logstash as I need to ship to different elastic search cluster. My question is if i use the apache module in the filebeat modules, do i need to ship the logs separately ? below is my filebeat yaml. I think i am shipping the logs twice. please confirm

```
filebeat.inputs:
- type: log
  paths:
    - /apps/asf/logs/*/access.log.*
    - /apps/logs/*/error.log.*
    - /apps/logs/*/error_ssl.log.*
    - /apps/logs/*/access_ssl.log.*
  exclude_files: ['.gz$']
  ignore_older: 24h

#============================= Filebeat modules ===============================
filebeat.config.modules:
  path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
  reload.enabled: false
#==================== Elasticsearch template setting ==========================
setup.template.name: "filebeat"
setup.template.pattern: "filebeat-*"
setup.template.settings:
  index.number_of_shards: 1
  index.codec: best_compression
#================================ Processors =====================================
processors:
  - add_host_metadata: ~
  - add_cloud_metadata: ~
#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
output.logstash:
  hosts: ["172.18.18.65:5044","172.18.18.138:5044"]
  loadbalance: true
#========================== Modules configuration =============================
filebeat.modules:
#-------------------------------- Apache Module --------------------------------
- module: apache
  access:
    enabled: true
    var.paths: ["/apps/logs/*/access.log.*","/apps/logs/*/access_ssl.log.*"]
  error:
    enabled: true
    var.paths: ["/apps/logs/*/error.log.*","/apps/logs/*/error_ssl.log.*"]
```
