Research direction
Start by locating the definitions and defaults for beats_filebeat_output, beats_auditbeat_output, and beats_metricbeat_output in the Ansible collection. Compare the related data-driven Beats work in issues #510, #505, and #516, then verify that all three defaults are elasticsearch and that the breaking-change behavior is documented or covered by the relevant checks.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
beats_filebeat_output defaults to logstash, but beats_auditbeat_output / beats_metricbeat_output default to elasticsearch — inconsistent.
Make all three default to elasticsearch. Breaking: setups relying on Filebeat → Logstash by default must then set beats_filebeat_output: logstash explicitly.
Pairs with the data-driven Beats work (#510 / #505 / #516).
