Research direction

Start in x-pack/filebeat/fbreceiver/config.go at the configuration validation referenced by the issue. Trace how enabled Filebeat modules are represented there and verify the receiver refuses to start when they are enabled, while supported configurations continue to validate successfully.

Description

BeatReceiver:MakeItRight Stalled Team:Elastic-Agent-Data-Plane

Filebeat receiver does not support the use of filebeat modules (no ilm, pipeline loading, etc.).

filebeat receiver should not start if modules are enabled. This could easily be done by adding to the configuration validation.
