Do I need to enable a module before I use it or can enabling the module be controlled in the metricbeat.yml config file?

for example:

do I need to do this first? ./metricbeat modules enable windows

or

is this the same:

  • module: windows
    metricsets: ["perfmon"]
    period: 60s
    perfmon.counters:
    • instance_label: "processor.name"
      instance_name: "Total"
      ..... etc.
