Is Elasticsearch associated with the pmlogger service in any way? I noticed that the pmlogger service in my 3-node ELK stack cluster has started automatically, and logs are being filled up in /var/log/pcp/pmlogger on all three nodes. The OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.9 (Ootpa). Is there any connection between Elasticsearch and the pmlogger service? ---

Thankyou for confirming.
