I just tried to download Metricbeat 6.4.0 for Mac OS X and there is a modules.d directory. How did you install Metricbeat?

I found those files are at /usr/share/metricbeat/module and I can sync file to /etc/metricbeat and will solve my issue.

@jerrywang1974 I successfully replicated this on my end. This seems to be a bug. Could you open an issue on Github for it?

Sounds like we potentially already have a fix for it which will be shipped in 6.4.1: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/8078](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/8078)
