I've upgraded one metricbeat installation to 7.7. Since the upgrade, the logs are written in /var/log/messages and not respecting the -path.logs setting.
From the former releases I have customized systemd to this setting:
[Service]
Environment="BEAT_LOG_OPTS="
The process looks like this:
/usr/share/metricbeat/bin/metricbeat -environment systemd -c /etc/metricbeat/metricbeat.yml -path.home /usr/share/metricbeat -path.config /etc/metricbeat -path.data /var/lib/metricbeat -path.logs /var/log/metricbeat
