Apologies..

I have no clue what all is wrong...

metricbeat should take like 5 mins setup I can't explain all the issues...

Perhaps someone else will be able to help.

Good Luck!!

I would suggest you start over and follow the [Quick Start Guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-installation-configuration.html)

Hi @stephenb  
good news, I tried again to do `.\metricbeat setup` suddenly I could connect to Kibana Windows Server 2019, but the system data from my laptop didn't appear on the Kibana Windows Server 2019 dashboard.

```auto
PS C:\Program Files\Metricbeat> .\metricbeat test output

  version: 8.6.2
PS C:\Program Files\Metricbeat> .\metricbeat setup

```

and i want ask about something.  
i don't know why my metricbeat on windows server 2019 still send this on windows powershell:

I don't know what those logs are from again, when you only give me partial information I can't help.

What command is that from?  
What component is is that from? I don't know. Those look like Kibana logs..

Hi @stephenb  
that's command after i run kibana on windows server 2019.  
if i run kibana from my laptop, not showing like that.

and why my system data from my laptop i can't see on kibana windows server 2019?  
yesterday already loaded but when i check on kibana windows server 2019, showing my laptop `hostname` but no data system loaded

```auto
PS C:\Program Files\Metricbeat> .\metricbeat setup
Index setup finished.
Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable)
Loaded dashboards

```

and i following your instruction from [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/metricbeat-host-not-showing-on-kibana-as-well-as-not-creating-index/292567/9) still not showing data system from my laptop to kibana windows server 2019

This is from Kibana Windows Server 2019 showing my laptop `hostname` but not data system show up.
