Hello to all out there,
Today I was trying to install filebeat on my laptop with Windows 10.
Earlier I was able to install Elasticsearch, Kibana and Logstash.
My account has administrator rights and I tried:
PS C:\Program Files\Filebeat> PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .\install-service-filebeat.ps1
And got message:
Security warning
Run only scripts that you trust. While scripts from the internet can be useful, this script can potentially harm your
computer. If you trust this script, use the Unblock-File cmdlet to allow the script to run without this warning
message. Do you want to run C:\Program Files\Filebeat\install-service-filebeat.ps1?
[D] Do not run [R] Run once [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "D"):
I entered: R
New-Service : Service 'filebeat (filebeat)' cannot be created due to the following error: Toegang geweigerd ("toegang geweigerd" means access denied)
At C:\Program Files\Filebeat\install-service-filebeat.ps1:12 char:1
- New-Service -name filebeat `
-
+ CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (filebeat:String) [New-Service], ServiceCommandException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotNewService,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewServiceCommand
I also tried:
PS C:\Program Files\Filebeat> ./filebeat -configtest -e
And I got message:
filebeat2017/11/04 08:46:21.827890 beat.go:339: CRIT Exiting: error setting default paths: Failed to create data path C:\Program Files\Filebeat\data: mkdir C:\Program Files\Filebeat\data: Toegang geweigerd.
Exiting: error setting default paths: Failed to create data path C:\Program Files\Filebeat\data: mkdir C:\Program Files\Filebeat\data: Toegang geweigerd.
So again "toegang geweigerd" "access denied".
I manually added a subdirectory "data" and tried again:
PS C:\Program Files\Filebeat> ./filebeat -configtest -e

Config OK
Now I seems to work okay?
Then I tried again:
PS C:\Data\Elastic\Elastic2 (X-pack)\Filebeat> PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .\install-service-filebeat.ps1

And again "access denied".
Don't know what to do next to solve this issue. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help.
