You can, if each heartbeat uses different configs and data folders, you would just need to create a service for each one of them.
But, what do you need to run that you need to use 3 different agents? Can you share the `heartbeat.yml` files?

Thank you for your respond.
we want to monitor 3 different app codes pcf services send all the logs to logstash and eventually create dashboard for that.
we do not want to run 3 heartbeat in 3 different servers
heartbeat.yml(which include the logstash connection)

You need to share your entire `heartbeat.yml` as plain text, use the `` button.
Also share each service yml configuration file.
If you want to monitor 3 (or more) different apps you do not need to run multiple heartbeats, you can just run one heartbeat service and configure the monitors.
You can configure the monitors directly in the `heartbeat.yml` file, which is the service configuration file, or you can configure the monitors in external files in a specific folder and configure heartbeat to look into that folder.
Check this part of the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/configuration-heartbeat-options.html#configuration-heartbeat-options).

heartbeat.yml
heartbeat.config.monitors:
path: ${path.config}/monitors.d/\*.yml
reload.enabled: true
reload.period: 5s
output.logstash:

In monitors.d I have 3 config file for different app code
NV00-PCF-HTTP.yml
U690-PCF-HTTP.yml
now everything(all 3 app code) is running from one server and we can see the logs in elastic which sent from logstash
The only issue is running heartbeat as a service

Did you follow the instructions in the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/heartbeat-installation-configuration.html#installation) ?
You need to run the powershell script to install the service.
```auto
PS > cd 'C:\Program Files\Heartbeat'
PS C:\Program Files\Heartbeat> .\install-service-heartbeat.ps1
```
