Hi,

I'm struggling to find an answer to a seemingly simple question: in which order are processors executed if I have them configured both in filebeat.yml (globally, not in the input) and in a Filebeat module?

Unfortunately documentation doesn't have the answer.

Thank you.

Hi @andreycha  
Should be module first and then global in the order that they are defined in each.

Is that not the behavior you're seeing?
