What is the process name of Metricbeat? ( To stop the Metricbeat)

Question

I'm trying out Elastic cloud. I've downloaded Metricbeat- System metrics (Windows version) and set it up on my local computer. I configured it so that I can see my local computer's memory, cpu, disk space, etc on my dashboard in Kibana on Cloud (Elastic Cloud).

I rebooted my local computer and expected Kibana not to get any more metric data from my local computer through Metricbeat. However, it is still getting data from my computer. 1) I want to know the name of the Metricbeat process. (I can't find it :( )

2) I want to know how to stop Metricbeat on my local machine. (If every time when I reboot my system, it also comes back up. Killing the process wouldn't work in this case.)

Answer 1

Here is how I solved it.

I opened a taskmgr in Windows. And I found the process.

The name of Metricbeat process is metricbeat.exe.

I killed the process, but it seems to run automatically when I restart my computer.

I went into the folder where I downloaded and installed Metricbeat.

Run PowerShell as administrator. And type .\uninstall-service-metricbeat.ps1 to uninstall it.

Finally, in Kibana, from the moment when you uninstalled Metricbeat, it won't show any more data.
