Dear Metricbeat experts,

I found metricbeat 7.9.2 was shutdown sliently, I enable debug log, from log, it said `service/service.go:56 Received sighup, stopping`. I started metricbeat using root user, I search the history command, there is no command to kill metricbeat process.

Pls feel free to let me know if I need to provide additional info, thx in advance!

**My use case** : use metricbeat to streaming kafka metrics to elasticsearch server.

**BTW** , when I use metricbeat 7.6.2 before, it was shutdown silently as well.

Can you share your metricbeat config and provide a slightly longer log? How long it was running before being shutdown?

Dear @Mario_Castro,

Sorry...I didn't save the log. Regarding "How long it was running before being shutdown", sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 5 hours.

Regarding the log, will provide the longer log when I reproduce the issue again, thx!
