Is your feature request related to a problem?

Elasticsearch has now created a tool called elastic agent which will replace the other beats functionality.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to see the installation and configuration added here. It should be a copy paste of what is already installed. I presume documentation will take the most time.

We already have https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/filebeat-formula. I'm not sure if having a 'beats' formula with multiple responsibilities is the best idea.

Pillar / config used

beats:
version: 8
use_upstream_repo: True

Bug details

Describe the bug

I'm upgrading some beats from version 7 to version 8. When creating the repos it goes and appends the new repo instead of changing the repo and therefore leaving the installation in an inconsistent state.

I suggest changing the purge.sls to have a version template in the line instead of a static 5.x version number

This formula is starting to have defaults that are duplicated in multiple places, It would be good to have a defaults file or map.jinja file to set sane defaults in one place rather than have them scattered throughout the formula. Then when a default needs to be changed it is referenced in a single place rather than needing to change it in multiple places throughout the formula.

Hi

Any idea how to get filebeat modules working with this. It's easy enough to add the modules path to the config. I suppose we can just run the cmd filebeat module enable. Or a move file. I'm not sure how to approach it.
