Hi all,

trying to find out what is the root cause of this error :

// ERROR checkpoint/checkpoint.go:200 rename X:\Directory\winlogbeat\data.winlogbeat.yml.new  
X:\Directory\winlogbeat\data.winlogbeat.yml: Access is denied.

Does any one face this one ?

From the documentation:

_1. Open a PowerShell prompt as an Administrator (right-click on the PowerShell icon and select Run As Administrator)._

If you cannot just rename, your service is still running or process is active. Stop or kill  
You have run PS with admin privileges to start Winlogbeat.
