Hi @shiva13! Could you elaborate more on this please? What are the services you are referring to run and with what configuration do you run them? Thanks! ---

Hi @ChrsMark, I have installed metric beat on the windows server (endpoint) and configured system module and enabled. I started metric beat service in the server (endpoint) , I could see data in kibana dashboard. But the metric beat windows service always shows **start**. When I click restart it does but after few minutes again it will ask for a **start**. Please find the attached image.

Could you check for logs the service produce? We need to verify that Metricbeat is able to start with no errors. Thanks! ---

Chris, Yeah there is an error EVENT ID 7034. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/5/959d9ea5a04e1d50493525f4731570f6d997dd0a.png) ---

Hi! This is not quite helpful, we need to observe the Metricbeat's app logs. Could you configure Metricbeat's logging (see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/configuration-logging.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/configuration-logging.html)) and restart the service? Set the log level to `debug`. Then please look in the logfile to see the reason and also share it here to find out the solution. Thanks! ---

Hi @ChrsMark , I haven't done any changes but now the service not going to off mode. Will monitor for few days and update if it recurs. Thanks for your help 🙂 ---
