Cannot create Data Stream

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi,

I am trying to create Data Streams by issuing:
PUT _data_stream/test-index-pattern
but I have this error:

  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "security_exception",
        "reason" : "action [indices:admin/data_stream/create] is unauthorized for user [elastic]"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "security_exception",
    "reason" : "action [indices:admin/data_stream/create] is unauthorized for user [elastic]",
    "caused_by" : {
      "type" : "illegal_state_exception",
      "reason" : "There are no external requests known to support wildcards that don't support replacing their indices"
    }
  },
  "status" : 403
}

How can I fix that?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Angelos,

Based on error it looks like your user does not have a permission to write data stream. You can check the docs to better understand permissions.

You can update user permission in Stack Management -> Security -> Users

Hi Dzmitry,

Thank you for your response.

As you can see from the error I am using the default elastic user which is superuser.

Hi how did you set up your super user - elastic? What is the version of your stack?

Thanks!

The authorization error you're seeing is likely a red herring, and not the actual cause of your problem: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/61245

Can you provide the command you used to create the test-index-pattern index template?
