Windows 10: Problem on registering filebeat service using provided powershell script

I want to register and use File Beats as a windows service.

so, I ran the service registration script provided on the official website, but an error occurred.

error : PSSecurityException (UnauthorizedAccess)

My system os version is Windows 10 and I want to install version 7.10.0 of Filebeat

Please give me some advice.

Solution

  • First, you must set execution policy to obtain permissions

    You can try this:

    PS> Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

    Now, you can use the provided powershell script.

    PS> .\install-service-filebeat.ps1

    You have to start the service after execute the script.

    PS> Start-Service filebeat

    If you want to remove the execution policy, use this command:

    PS> Set-ExecutionPolicy Undefined

    I checked that this command able to used with Filebeat 7.10.0 and Windows 10 Environment.

    Thank you. Have a nice day :)
