Hi ! I have a question, should i configured xpack on filebeat ? or just in Elasticsearch ? because according to [this link](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/configuring-security.html#configuring-security) it says > Verify that the `xpack.security.enabled` setting is `true` on each node in your cluster. ... I'm not sure what node means. Is it term for Elasticsearch or other ELK Stack component is a node. Thanks in advance ---

There is a short paragraph in docs about it: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-xpack.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-xpack.html) ---
