Winlogbeat stop and start services

Elastic Stack Beats

Hi, We are having issues stoping and starting winlogbeat agent. It eventually timeouts . Process kill seems ok.Is there any known issue around this?

We are just using Powershell scrip to stop and start the service.

Secondly, what process/house keeping happens before it turns off the service?

Are you running with administrator permission?

Have you checked if there is any important information in the logs?
