Hello @flexitrev
The enabled setting under a specific fileset/metricset under a Module works.
Example: you can enable the Apache access fileset and disable the error one. This works fine.
What is broken in #17638 (comment) is using enabled in the inputs specified in the external file pointed by the path setting within <beat>.config.inputs

Filebeat
filebeat.config.modules:
# Glob pattern for configuration loading
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
# Set to true to enable config reloading
reload.enabled: true
# Period on which files under path should be checked for changes
reload.period: 10s
Enabled coredns module via filebeat module enable coredns.
Enabling / disabling a single metricset/fileset in coredns.yml works:
Error creating runner from config: could not create module registry for filesets: module coredns is configured but has no enabled filesets
Enabled apache module, then enabled only the access one:
Enabled modules/filesets: apache (access)
Starting runner: apache (access)
Enabled also the error fileset:
Starting runner: apache (access), apache (error)
The problem is restricted to inputs.
