\*.service should be placed to /usr/lib or /etc/sysemd/system; so why filebeat.service is placed to /lib/systemd/system/? when filebeat runing, filebeat.serviceļ¼ whether it works or not and why?

According to the systemd [docs](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html#Unit%20File%20Load%20Path) the "Units of installed packages" go to `/usr/lib/systemd/system`. Due to /lib being symlink to usr/lib the unit files are installed to the correct location. It works fine on my CentOS 7 machine.
