Hello,

I am unable to configure suricata.yml in filebeat/modules.d to receive suricata logs remotely from syslog instead a local log file.

This post: [Using the Filebeat Suricata Module for EVE-Logs in Syslog messages](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/using-the-filebeat-suricata-module-for-eve-logs-in-syslog-messages/248064) mentions using override input setting, unfortunately I don't know exactly how to do that.

Any help would be appreciated.

David
