Hello,
I’m currently integrating metricbeat 7.10 on a Linux distribution using Golang 1.14.
But a “runtime error: slice bounds out of range” is raised, only on ARMv7 targets, see below.
In addition, I integrated filebeat successfully.
Would you have any idea what I could look for to fix it?
```auto
root@qemuarm:~# filebeat version
filebeat version 7.10.3 (arm), libbeat 7.10.3 [unknown built unknown]
root@qemuarm:~# metricbeat version

hello @tperrot
welcome to the community!
The panic happens on the `init` function of `google.golang.org/protobuf/types/descriptorpb` package
I cannot find any direct import of this package in Metricbeat source (it's only imported in x-pack by the agent)
I suspect is an indirect dependency from `github.com/gogo/protobuf`, that's imported in Metricbeat and not in Filebeat
The version was bumped from `v1.3.1` to `v1.3.2`, in v7.16.0 release of beat. You could try to compile this one just to assess if the panic still persists
