Hello, I am trying to install filebeat on some Debian Linux devices, using the instructions from [this link](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/8.6/setup-repositories.html). Unfortunately, the URL provided on that page ([https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/apt](https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/apt)) is not working.

Am I missing something? I tried poking around, to see if I could locate the correct URL, and I keep getting redirected to [https://elastic.co/download](https://elastic.co/download).

```auto
$ curl -vL https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/apt/

You can also just do it direct per the [quick start](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/8.6/filebeat-installation-configuration.html#installation)

```auto
curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/filebeat/filebeat-8.6.2-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i filebeat-8.6.2-amd64.deb

```
