The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Also another issue would be that i cannot supply the key in the same command as adding. Trying to create an install script that installs the winlogbeat msi, creates and adds a value to the keystore rather than keeping the key in the .yml
thanks that is interesting, i could see a keystore in C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Beats\winlogbeat\data and C:\Program Files\Elastic\Beats\7.12.0\winlogbeat\data both with todays date although program files was a later time
Thanks for the help, defined path.data in winlogbeat.yml, it now creates the keystore in the correct place and used the stdin and powershell to add the key and password. Service starting ok.
