Log Message:
Update sysutils/beats to 5.3.0.
==== Breaking changes
Affecting all Beats
- Configuration files must be owned by the user running the Beat or by
root, and they must not be writable by others.
- Change Beat generator. Use
`$GOPATH/src/github.com/elastic/beats/script/generate.py` to
generate a beat.
Filebeat
- Always use absolute path for event and registry. This can lead to
issues when relative paths were used before.
Metricbeat
- Linux cgroup metrics are now enabled by default for the system
process metricset. The configuration option for the feature was
renamed from `cgroups` to `process.cgroups.enabled`.
- Change field names `couchbase.node.couch.*.actual_disk_size.*` to
`couchbase.node.couch.*.disk_size.*`
==== Bugfixes
Affecting all Beats
- Add `_id`, `_type`, `_index` and `_score` fields in the generated
index pattern.
