Looking for some guidance on using Octopus Deploy to deploy Winlogbeat.

The approach I've been trying is to deploy a wrapper Powershell script, which would then invoke the install-service-winlogbeat.ps1 script, which I have packaged ina winlogbeat-contents folder, along with winlogbeat.yml, cert files, etc.

The problem with this approach is the Windows account used by Octopus Deploy does not have the permissions to execute the New-Service command in install-service-winglobeat.ps1.

I guess one alternative is to use the "Deploy a Windows Service" step built into Octopus Deploy and hope it magically works.

Anyone else with experience deploying Winlogbeat with Octopus Deploy instead of the manual method described in [Winlogbeat quick start: installation and configuration | Winlogbeat Reference [8.5] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/current/winlogbeat-installation-configuration.html)? The manual method works fine in our lower environment servers, but due to our company security policies, we can't deploy Winlogbeat with the manual procedure.
