installed 7.5.0 version of filebeat on windows VM. after a successful install, noticed that filebeat.exe was running in background when looking at running processes but I had not started service yet.
i confirmed that there was not another install in place and that the process was indeed pointing to the correct installed location. started the service and observed 2 running processes (pointing to same location) running. ECE admin reached out to me and asked if we had 2 instances running on that server as you would expect.
Can someone shed some light on this for me?
