Sorry for what I guess is a basic question...  
Is there any instructions anywhere for verifying the winlogbeats download?  
I downloaded the asc and the file buuut isn't there supposed to be a key somewhere?

Thought I needed a key file for this -  
I tried this...  
wget -qO - [https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch.asc](https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch.asc)  
....but the download never seems to work

gpg --verify winlogbeat-7.8.0-windows-x86\_64.zip.sha512 winlogbeat-7.8.0-windows-x86\_64.zip  
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.  
gpg: the signature could not be verified.  
Please remember that the signature file (.sig or .asc)  
should be the first file given on the command line.  
gpg --verify winlogbeat-7.8.0-windows-x86\_64.zip.sha512 winlogbeat-7.8.0-windows-x86\_64.zip

Is there instructions somewhere? Thanks!

OMG ok so the sha512 is to the right of it...  
cat winlogbeat-7.8.0-windows-x86\_64.zip.sha512  
e5825a7a31f27e412957ca029f32f84597fb43d1c21ff89a09c755baf25e358803255faaf116028c73b92848e9ee6bd2589008d768dfd7f68ebbc89e0245482d

sha512sum winlogbeat-7.8.0-windows-x86\_64.zip
