Hi all,

trying to find out what is the root cause of this error :

// ERROR checkpoint/checkpoint.go:200 rename X:\Directory\winlogbeat\data.winlogbeat.yml.new  
X:\Directory\winlogbeat\data.winlogbeat.yml: Access is denied.

Does any one face this one ?

I'm having this same issue. Did you ever find a solution? I've tried verifying that my keystore file is correct and even setting the permissions on the directory to explicitly give full control access permissions to my user ID but I still get the same error.
