So, quick question, based off of https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/filebeat-module-checkpoint.html#_firewall_fileset_settings -- it looks like this isn't necessarily required and filebeat will default to globbing on known system log directories? Just wondering why the switch?

Neither the module nor the package specify default paths for the CheckPoint log files. Probably because there isn't a standard path due to syslog streaming being the primary delivery means.

I marked it as required to prevent the package from being installed without setting any path. If you start the logfile stream without any paths it will cause an error in filebeat since it cannot start the log input without any paths.
