33+ ==== Filebeat registry
34+
35+ Starting with version 7.0, Filebeat stores the registry in a sub-directory.
36+ The directory is configured using the `filebeat.registry.path` setting.
37+ If Filebeat finds an old registry file at the configured location, it will
38+ automatically migrate the registry file to the new format.

40+ The settings `filebeat.registry_flush` and `filebeat.registry_file_permission`
41+ have been renamed to `filebeat.registry.flush` and
42+ `filebeat.registry.file_permission`.
