Description

Describe the feature request

I would like the option to make the queue-type for filebeat configurable. It is a memory-queue by default, which is fine, but in some cases a disk-queue is needed or appreciated. I would like to have this as an option, it would just need a few variables.

Any opinions on this? I can and would implement this if there are no objections.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the collection's Filebeat configuration entry point and existing queue-related variables, then trace how those settings are rendered. Done means the queue type can be selected as memory or disk through configuration, with the existing default preserved.
