.\metricbeat setup
Only sets up the assets, loads dashboards etc and then stops... That is the intended behavior.. it does not continue running and collect data.

To actually start / run metricbeat collecting data you actually need to start it with

PS C:\Program Files\metricbeat> Start-Service metricbeat

It is recommended you follow the steps in the Quick Start Guide

Setup is only step 4 of 6

Hi @stephenb

i have done the step but still not showing the system data

how do we know the metricbeat colleting data?

Check Kibana Discover with data view metrcbeat-* see if there is data.

Check Kibana Observability > Infrastructure Inventory and see if there is data

Look at the logs

C:\ProgramData\metricbeat\Logs

Or stop the metricbeat service try starting not as a service but in the foreground and look at the console logs

.\metricbeat -e
