Hello Guys. Facing an issue , Metricbeat service is recursively getting restarting. Please find below status/log of service. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/3/c3950b43abf826279b3145ed6b27c440a8f6857f.png) ---

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 🙂 ---
