Error running Metricbeat.exe commands in powershell
I am trying to install Metricbeat on a Windows 10 machine so we can start monitoring it. When I open Powershell and run the following commands:
PS > .\metricbeat.exe modules list
I get the error
I copied that command as is from the Metricbeat documentation. I have seen videos on youtube of people running similar commands successfully. Please, why am I getting that error and what can I do to get my metricbeat.exe powershell commands to work?
You're copying the command TOO literally.
you've entered in the prompt PS > .\metricbeat.exe modules list
where you should have entered .\metricbeat.exe modules list
the latter executes modules list action against an application named "metricbeat.exe" located in .\ which indicates the current directory.
the former executes a redirection > of the output of an application named PS or get-process with input of .\metricbeat.exe modules and an argument of list.
wherever you copied this command from intended "PS >" to represent the beginning of the prompt and you don't need to include it.
Just like the error says... :P
