I can't seem to find any answers on this. looking at the docker images for:
[docker.elastic.co/beats/metricbeat:7.4.0](http://docker.elastic.co/beats/metricbeat:7.4.0)
and
[docker.elastic.co/beats/metricbeat-oss:7.4.0](http://docker.elastic.co/beats/metricbeat-oss:7.4.0)
The metricbeat-oss does not include the aws module. was this by design? Is there a way to add it? I'm using the oss version since I'm sending metrics to aws elasticsearch.
cheers!
James

According to the documentation the Metricbeat AWS module is part of x-pack and therefore requires the default distribution.
