Hi!
I was using 7.9.2 filebeat successfully as Azure Web Job with IIS module enabled.
Was running it as this:
run.cmd:
set JOB_DIR=%~dp0
%JOB_DIR%filebeat.exe --environment=windows_service -c %JOB_DIR%filebeat.yml --path.home %JOB_DIR% --path.data "%HOME%\filebeat" --path.logs "%HOME%\filebeat\logs" -E logging.files.redirect_stderr=true
iis.yaml:
- module: iis
access:
enabled: true
var.paths: ["D:/home/LogFiles/http/RawLogs/*.log"]
error:
enabled: false
However, after update to 7.17.5 filebeat won't start, returning generic error "Exiting: The system cannot find the file specified."
I've enabled debug output and it logged this:

I've disabled host/cloud metadata and IIS module as well as suggested here. But it didn't change anything.
Tried to delete existing data folder, this caused new meta.json with new ID created, but error was the same.
Tried to use -e option w/o -environment and got the same in stdout:

The error is quite vague as I'm not sure what file can't it find. Is it some folder or else?
What else can I do to diagnose the issue?
