Hi @syedsfayaz, thanks for posting your question here. When you say _stop_, does it mean Metricbeat crashed and you have to restart it? Does this happen to you constantly and you are able to reproduce? What Metricbeat config are you using?

@Kaiyan_Sheng Yes, Metricbeat crashes and I have to manually restart it. I have seen this issue predominantly in windows.
```
metricbeat.config.modules:
# Glob pattern for configuration loading
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
# Set to true to enable config reloading
reload.enabled: false
# Period on which files under path should be checked for changes
#reload.period: 10s
#==================== Elasticsearch template setting ==========================
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
index.number_of_replicas: 0
index.codec: best_compression
_source.enabled: true
setup.ilm.enabled: auto
# Configure the ILM write alias name.
setup.ilm.rollover_alias: "metricbeat"
# Configure rollover index pattern.
setup.ilm.pattern: "{now/d}-000001"
output.elasticsearch:

Thanks! Seems like we have a similar issue reported in github several hours ago [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/12826](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/12826) for metricbeat crashing.

@Kaiyan_Sheng I see the attached ticket is fixed. Any idea how I can get these changes ?. I went to the downloads page but I see the old date so I am expecting these changes are not released yet.
