Hi there, have you tried following the [Metricbeat Getting Started guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-getting-started.html)? From your screenshot, it looks like Elasticsearch isn't running. Can you verify that you set up an Elasticsearch instance?

Thanks,  
CJ

I installed elasticsearch and mark on x-pack plugin through installation but after installing it, it disappeared although it exists in control pannel programs
