I am trying to install filebeat-5.0.1 and getting the following error: ``` error: /petavm/abpapp1/inf/petavm2/Beats/packages/filebeat-5.0.1-x86_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA512 signature: BAD, key ID d88e42b4 error: /petavm/abpapp1/inf/petavm2/Beats/packages/filebeat-5.0.1-x86_64.rpm cannot be installed ``` Any idea what the problem is? Thanks Sharon. ---

Did you follow the instructions from [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/setup-repositories.html#_yum)? Specifically did you install the public signing key used by Elastic to sign the packages (key id: d88e42b4)? ---

Hi, I didn't understand your answer @ all. I am using an RPM that I downloaded from Elastic to Install the Filebeat. (5.0.1) I already installed it in various machine and it is working with no issues. In a specific machine I suddenly got that error. I didn't do nothing different from other host that I installed Filebeat on them. I am trying to understand what is different on that machine? Thanks Sharon. ---

I did the process, created the elastic.repo file as indicated but it didn't solve the problem. Still getting the same error during running the installation using the rpm. ---

Hi, Yes, I run it but still the same error. Anyway, I am trying to understand why do I need it , as I am using the rpm for Installation and not having yum commands. Thanks Sharon. ---

You need to have the signing key installed for the signature check to pass. What's the SHA sum of the file that you have? Perhaps it's corrupt. What OS version are you using? ---

What's in /etc/redhat-release? What version of `rpm` (rpm --version)? The file is not corrupt. You are using el5 and Beats only [support](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix) el6 and el7. Probably the version of `rpm` on your machine cannot validate the signature due to [bug 436812](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436812). ---

I understand. We will need to upgrade the redhat version. Thank you Sharon. ---
