We use saltstack for the configuration management und deployment.  
winlogbeat have found one difference between the other windows compatible beat agents.

If we get the display name and version via saltstack, then in contrast to the other beat agents, the version is also displayed in the display name.

filebeat:  
6.6.1

WinLogBeat 6.6.1:  
6.6.1

We don't know why this is the case, but we guess, that this is defined somewhere in the source code or build process of this agent.

I think I'm missing some context. What commands do you use to get this display name? Or what display name are you looking at that contains "WinLogBeat 6.6.1"?
