at a random time the heartbeat is shutting down with INFO messages :  
INFO cfgfile/reload.go:229 Dynamic config reloader stopped  
INFO [reload] cfgfile/list.go:118 Stopping 9 runners ...  
INFO [monitoring] log/log.go:154 Uptime: 2h22m49.087954637s  
INFO [monitoring] log/log.go:131 Stopping metrics logging.  
INFO instance/beat.go:432 heartbeat stopped.

--------- Paths are not the default ------------  
path.home: /opt/beats/7.4.0/heartbeat/  
path.config: /opt/beats/7.4.0/heartbeat/  
path.data: /opt/beats/7.4.0/heartbeat/data/  
path.logs: /logs/beats/heartbeat/

We do not know why and how to investigate further .

Thank you,

Can you add more logs around that for context? Is it possible that something is sending heartbeat a SIGTERM to shutdown? It looks like a clean shutdown to me.

The behavior is like it's having a consecutive number of loops and then it is closing the services . There is no error logged in heartbeat.log
