Installed packet beat and started service for packet beat.  
Not showing any error. But when checking the service status, it shows packet beat is stopped.  
Any way to fix this.

Hello.  
What OS are you running it on? You usually get information on why it isn't working in the logs, be it in the files or in journalctl.
