I have installed Metricbeats on my ECS Docker Instance and I am monitoring logs of Docker from ECS to Elastic Search Kabana Dashboard. There is an issue with the Kabana that whenever I do any release by updating docker images the metricbeat stop giving logs on Kabana. I am unable to figure out what causes the issue.

I guess your metricbeat service is not able to restart back again after the update is done.

Is there anything the metricbeat is giving in logs, when it is stopping?

have you enabled logging for your metricbeat?

if not, please add these to your metricbeat.yml and restart the service.

change the path to your respective folder you require logs in... and give necessary permissions to it.

```auto
logging.level: info
logging.to_files: true
logging.files:
  path: /var/log/metricbeat
  name: metricbeat
  keepfiles: 7
  permissions: 0640

```
