Can we use tags in modules, I was trying to tag the logs in elasticsearch module but the tag is not assigned to the particular path

- module: elasticsearch  
server:  
enabled: true  
var.paths: ["/var/log/elasticsearch/server1/\*.log"]  
tags: ["elasticsearch"]

In the kibana ,

| t prospector.type | |
| --- | --- |
| | log |
| t service.name | |
| | elasticsearch |
| t source | |
| | /var/log/elasticsearch/server1/xxx.log |
| t tags | |
| | beats\_input\_codec\_plain\_applied |
| t type | |
| | beats |

I think "tags" is no module setting, but an input setting. Try with:

```auto
input:
  tags: ["elasticsearch"]

```
