[NOTE]
===============================================================================
Because Filebeat modules are currently in Beta, the default Filebeat
configuration may interfere with the Filebeat `system` module configuration. If
you plan to run the `system` module, edit the Filebeat configuration file,
`filebeat.yml`, and comment out the following lines:

[source,yaml]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#- input_type: log
  #paths:
    #- /var/log/*.log
----------------------------------------------------------------------

For rpm and deb, you'll find the configuration file at
`/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml`. For mac and win, look in the archive that you
extracted when you installed Filebeat.
