Filebeat publish metrics on start up to elastic and then stops publishing metrics. We stopped filebeat by doing a kill -9 of the pid. Systemd restarts filebeat. Filebeat published data to the logs and then stops publishing We are seeing these entries in the logs 2017-10-20T14:04:51-04:00 INFO Non-zero metrics in the last 30s: filebeat.harvester.open\_files=2 filebeat.harvester.running=2 filebeat.harvester.started=2 libbeat.es.call\_count.PublishEvents=1 libbeat.es.publish.read\_bytes=475 libbeat.es.publish.write\_bytes=29946 libbeat.publisher.published\_events=2046 2017-10-20T14:05:21-04:00 INFO No non-zero metrics in the last 30s 2017-10-20T14:05:21-04:00 INFO Error publishing events (retrying): temporary bulk send failure 2017-10-20T14:05:22-04:00 INFO Connected to Elasticsearch version 5.5.2 2017-10-20T14:05:22-04:00 INFO Trying to load template for client: [http://monatee-loggy-master-cnj.dev.bnymellon.net:80](http://monatee-loggy-master-cnj.dev.bnymellon.net:80) 2017-10-20T14:05:22-04:00 INFO Template already exists and will not be overwritten. 2017-10-20T14:05:51-04:00 INFO Non-zero metrics in the last 30s: libbeat.es.call\_count.PublishEvents=1 libbeat.es.publish.read\_bytes=1064 libbeat.es.publish.write\_bytes=6981 libbeat.es.published\_and\_acked\_events=39 libbeat.es.published\_but\_not\_acked\_events=11 ---

We are using 5.5.2 - filebeat-5.5.2-linux-x86\_64.tar.gz I checked this morning and the issue resolved itself. I was seeing logs for the last 1 minute. I am surprised that it resolved itself. I was not expecting to see logs this morning ---

X-pack basic (free) contains some monitoring support. Also check Elasticsearch logs. ---
