Error starting Metricbeat

I can think of two causes for this.

Are you using any Security features? (Do you have a security section under Management, in Kibana?) Access restrictions can be forbidding metricbeat to access the .kibana index.

Another cause can be a problem as described in this post:

For which the solution is to run this command in Kibana -> Dev Tools -> Console:

PUT .kibana/_settings
{
"index": {
"blocks": {
"read_only_allow_delete": "false"
}
}
}
