Hello,  
We are collecting events from DCs and somehow lately winlogbeat stopps sending them on multiple devices.

I did set logging for debug  
logging.level: debug  
logging.to\_file: true  
logging.files:  
path: 'C:\Program Files\WinLogbeat\Logs'  
name: winlogbeat  
keepfiles: 7  
rotateeverybytes: 10485760

But there is no error log it just breaks. Is there anything else I could check to solve this case?

When we restart service it starts collecting them again. This time it stopped after 2 hours.

In the log something like this, like it would stop checking event log

| 2023-06-23T11:55:59.634+0200 | DEBUG | [eventlog\_detail] | eventlog/wineventlog.go:296 | WinEventLog[System] No more events |
