I deployed a metricbeat 7.10.0 on a Centos 8.0 VM and on RedHat 8.2 VM.  
I defined a metricbeat system module as follows:

```auto
#module system, metriceset service
- module: system
  metricsets:
    - service
  period: 30s
  service.pattern_filter: ["*"]
  service.state_filter: ["*"]

```

configured output to _console_, and started beat with `metricbeat -e -v -d "*"`.  
However, I have any significant result, as reported in the log below.  
This service worked well on Centos 7.x, so I suspect that this issue is related to a change in systemctl management.  
Is it possible to resolve it?

You do, or you don't?
