I've got 2 winlogbeats configured identically with

- xpack.monitoring.enabled: true

- xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch:

Why isn't the other instance showing up? Your help appreciated.

Hi @rfs42,

This was an unfortunate shortcoming with how Winlogbeat was built, which prevented it from marking its ephemeral ID (UUID per startup). There is a fix incoming for it in 6.2.4 and 6.3.0.

Hope that helps,  
Chris
