Hello,

etc/beats/metricbeat.modules.d/system.yml seems like a great candidate for a
.sample file

It would avoid this situation:

$ sudo pkg check -s
Password:
Checking all packages:   1%
beats7-7.10.1: checksum mismatch for
/usr/local/etc/beats/metricbeat.modules.d/system.yml
Checking all packages: 100%

I imagine that local changes to that file are common. Upgrades shouldn't
overwrite them.

I don't know about the other 572 .yml files in pkg-plist though...
