I am writting a Elastic search connection code from python like :

es = Elasticsearch("url", basic\_auth=("Username", "password"))  
print(es.info())

but getting error as : elasticsearch.AuthorizationException: AuthorizationException(403, 'security\_exception', 'action [cluster:monitor/main] is unauthorized for user\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*this action is grante d by the cluster privileges [monitor,manage,all]')
