Hi

have just installed beats-6.2.3 using FreeBSD ports.

I'd like to use the nginx module but I can't find it, or anywhere to download it from.

Should it have been created as part of the build process or are the modules built manually as required?

I've read the section on creating custom modules but can't find anywhere that says where the pre-built modules are obtained.

when using the modules list comman I get:

root@vweb2:/usr/local/etc # filebeat modules list  
Error in modules manager: modules management requires 'filebeat.config.modules.path' setting

but the package only installs the following files:

# pkg info -l beats

beats-6.2.3:  
/usr/local/etc/filebeat.yml.sample  
/usr/local/etc/metricbeat.yml.sample  
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/filebeat  
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/metricbeat  
/usr/local/sbin/filebeat  
/usr/local/sbin/metricbeat  
/usr/local/share/licenses/beats-6.2.3/APACHE20  
/usr/local/share/licenses/beats-6.2.3/LICENSE  
/usr/local/share/licenses/beats-6.2.3/catalog.mk

Hi @tg1234,

Do you have the url of the package you downloaded? It seems like modules are missing
