Hello,

This is my first installation of ELK and everything is working except adding PacketBeat. What are the steps to verify basic installation of the PB Service, beyond it not starting, which in my case works. There is a log folder created but no logs, nothing in the event viewer. I've run the exe in a console and don't see anything there either.

Windows 10 Enterprise  
packetbeat-1.2.1-windows  
kibana-4.5.0-windows  
elasticsearch-2.3.1  
logstash-2.3.1
