Beats 6.5 error while setting up

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}

in my filebeat.yml , I configured the filebeat to push logs to elasticsearch directly.

Do you have X-Pack enabled in your stack?

After disabling the xpack plugin kibana dashboard is loading but the error is still there.

Filebeat might try to upload Machine Learning jobs. Could you please run ./filebeat setup -e -d "*" and share its output?
