Hi,  
I'm trying to deploy metrics beat agent 8.1.1 using ansible playbook on our servers. But the service "metricbeat" does not start up.

Welcome to our community! 😃  
Please don't post pictures of text, logs or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂

What do the logs of Metricbeat show?
