Filebeat modules provide a quick way to get started processing common log formats. They contain default configurations, Elasticsearch ingest pipeline definitions, and Kibana dashboards to help you implement and deploy a log monitoring solution.
This is like services.filebeat.settings.filebeat.modules, but structured as an attribute set. This has the benefit that multiple NixOS modules can contribute settings to a single filebeat module.
A module can be specified multiple times by choosing a different <name> for each, but setting to the same value.
