my filebeat version is 6.5.4 and setting up I tried to execute below command,
sudo filebeat setup
and got below error
Exiting: 2 errors: Error checking if xpack is available: 500 Internal Server Error: {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"security_exception","reason":"Unexpected exception indices:admin/get"}],"type":"security_exception","reason":"Unexpected exception indices:admin/get"},"status":500}; Error checking if xpack is available: 500 Internal Server Error: {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"security_exception","reason":"Unexpected exception indices:admin/get"}],"type":"security_exception","reason":"Unexpected exception indices:admin/get"},"status":500}
