Heartbeat 7 seems to stop running

I'm trying to nail down what is happening with it. I start heartbeat using a simple "./hearbeat &" and it seems to run fine for a couple of hours and then the process dies.

That's not good. Is there anything at all in the logs?

Also, can you share your config?

So don't get to concerned yet. I started the heartbeat service last night doing a full path command like this:

/home/rseals/heartbeat-7.0.0-beta1-linux-x86_64/heartbeat & 

And it's been running since Feb 27, 2019 @ 20:09:47.468. So that has been better than before. Before I was just starting it as ./heartbeat & from the directory.

My config is super super simple:

Everything runs on the same box. Elastic Search, Kibana and Heartbeat. Its configured with an IP instead of Local host so I could get to it remotely via web browser.
