I have installed Zeek at a custom location, how can I configure the Zeek module in FileBeats to collect the logs from the proper log location?

Hi @MrTrav,

You can customize the paths used by filebeat by setting the `var.paths` option on each fileset. If this is not working for you, could you paste the configuration you are using?

Here is my configuration, not seeing anything output to console.

```
filebeat.inputs:

- type: log

  enabled: false

  paths:
    - /opt/nsm/zeek/logs/current/*

filebeat.config.modules:
  path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml

  reload.enabled: false

setup.template.settings:
  index.number_of_shards: 1

#output.elasticsearch:
  #hosts: ["localhost:9200"]

processors:
  - add_host_metadata: ~
  - add_cloud_metadata: ~

filebeat.modules:
- module: zeek
  # All logs
  connection:
    enabled: true
  dns:
    enabled: true
  http:
    enabled: true
  files:
    enabled: true
  ssl:
    enabled: true
  notice:
    enabled: true

    var.paths:
      - /opt/nsm/zeek/logs/current/conn.log

output.console:
  pretty: true
```
