Hello everyone,

i've set logging.level to warning. So this should only collect events with level = critical, error, warning.

But i am still receiving Information messages. I already restarted the service, but its not stopping.

Did i miss something?

This is the Logstash category. I suggest you edit your post and move it to the Winlogbeat category.
