Hello.  
I have lately updated my cluster to newer version. I have also updated Filebeat clients to same version as the cluster.  
Originally I was installing it from zip file using PowerShell script.  
How to update filebeat without doubling the data by ingesting them again by the filebeat from zero and duplicate them ?  
I was always until now copying log catalogue. In 8.12.2 version it's not working.  
How to do it ?
