Everytime I am trying to start metricbeat service, the error 'Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly' is shown. I have tried this on Windows server 2012, 2016 and 2019. Same result on every OS. What could be the reason for this?

Hello @ShilpaT, more information would help 🙂 For example, how you started metricbeat, what version of Elasticsearch, metricbeat and/or Kibana you are using? Thanks for reaching out!
