Hello,

I'm running metricbeats and pressing Ctrl+C stops immediately when I'm not running any modules other than system. However, when I'm running other modules such as redis, mysql etc, pressing Ctrl+C does not stop immediately. If I keep pressing it continuously then after few seconds (3-10), then it stops.

One point in my case is, the redis and mysql is not running. I suppose it is in a loop waiting for something during which time the Ctrl+C is not captured. Any experience on this?

Thanks
