Hi All,
We are trying to send logs using filebeat and we added the add_host_metadata processor to our beats yml files.
But it not working on Windows Server 2016 64-bit servers and below is the system details,
Any idea's on how to solve this?
The added part:
processors:
- add_host_metadata: ~
When adding this to the yml file of filebeat the service crashes and the following error is logged:
PS C:\ProgramData\filebeat-6.3.2-windows-x86_64> .\filebeat.exe -c .\filebeat.yml -e -d "*"
