I'm testing a single Windows agent, and Kibana is littered with these errors, and it looks bad to the potential customer. I've got to get it cleaned up. _error making http request: Get "[http://npipe/state](http://npipe/state)": open \default-filebeat: The system cannot find the file specified._ I saw someone asked a question about this in December, and it was identified as a bug. Is there a fix yet? Thank you!

hi @dvo , I think you mean [[Ingest Management] Monitoring metrics using npipe does not work · Issue #22957 · elastic/beats (github.com)](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/22957). This fix seems to have made it to 7.11. Have you tried this version? ---

Yes, that's what I found on git as well. So there's no fix for 7.10.X agents---it requires upgrading the whole smash to 7.11 to fix? I say this b/c unless something has changed in the last 2 weeks, 7.11 Elastic Agents won't register w/7.10.2 backend. Please tell me there's a workaround for this that can be applied to just the agent! Thanks for your time Mariana ---

hi @dvo , I see in the initial discuss ticket, my colleague suggests disabling metrics monitoring using `agent.monitoring.metrics` in order to clear the errors, have you tried that? It's most likely not possible to enroll newer agents to older stack. ---

Hi, yes I did, but does that disable metric colkection, or just the monitoring of collecting the metrics? Either way, the syntax for doing that in the config would have been helpful. I'd be willing to try it if I knew what to type. ---
