Hi  
I have installed metricbeat 7.7 on redhat 6.8 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.8 (Santiago)).

After the configuration and restart of the agent,  
I'm receiving this error :

Exiting: 1 error: error finding ListUnits Method: error calling dbus: The name org.freedesktop.systemd1 was not provided by any .service files

and the agent gone down.

Any idea ?

Could you please share your configuration formatted using `</>`?

Seems to be a problem with specific version, with 7.5.2 all things work fine.

Below the configuration :

setup.template.settings:  
index.number\_of\_shards: 1  
index.codec: best\_compression  
#\_source.enabled: false

#============================== Kibana

setup.kibana:  
host: "this-elk:5601"

#----------------------------- Redis output --------------------------------

output.redis:  
hosts: ["x.x.x.57","x.x.x.58","x.x.x.59"]  
password: "redis"  
key: "metricbeat"  
db: 0  
timeout: 5

#================================ Processors

processors:

- add\_host\_metadata: ~
- add\_cloud\_metadata: ~

#================================= Migration

The service metricset from system module is intented to check systemd service.  
RHEL 6.8 is not running systemd hence this metricset won't work.  
Comment that out from the configuration.
