Hello, I removed Elastic's Beats (filebeat & metricbeat package) by issuing apt-get remove filbeat metricbeat and removed directory rm -rf /etc/filebeat /etc/metricbeat as well. I than tried to install it back by issuing apt-get install filebeat metricbeat, yet getting following error now: # file…

Can you try apt-get purge filebeat metricbeat and then apt-get install filebeat metricbeat?

Error initializing beat: error loading config file: stat /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml: no such file or directory
