**modules.go** is looking in the wrong directory, as the modules are located elsewhere.
How to solve it in a correct way?
thanks in advance

Hi @lara,
I'm wondering, how did you install Filebeat, and how are you running it? Looks like home path is wrong there, it should be `/usr/share/filebeat/`
Best regards

Hi Carlos,
standard "yum" installation for what I think.
I know that home path should be /usr/share/filebeat/ and the "modules" are right there.
thanks in advance for any hint

uhm, how do you launch filebeat? RPM packaging includes a wrapper script that we put in the PATH (`/usr/bin/filebeat`), it configures the proper paths for everything. So everything should work by default if you just run `filebeat` in a terminal.

As I am in testing phase I launch and stop manually in the following way:
/usr/share/filebeat/bin/filebeat -c filebeat.yml -path.config /etc/filebeat -e
thanks
