Hi,
We have Elastic and Kibana running on the same cluster and now I am trying to send system data from another host via metricbeat to elastic directly.
For this I followed the 5 steps explained in the official documentation.
In step 4 when entering command (This step loads the recommended index template for writing to Elasticsearch and deploys the sample dashboards for visualizing the data in Kibana)
metricbeat setup -e
I get following error message:
BTW: metricbeat config looks like this:
# =================================== Kibana ===================================
# Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API.
# This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.
setup.kibana:
# Kibana Host
# Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)
# In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: http://localhost:5601/path
# IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601
host: "https://XXX:443"
# ================================== Outputs ===================================
# Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.
# ---------------------------- Elasticsearch Output ----------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
# Array of hosts to connect to.
hosts: ["https://XXX:443"]
# Protocol - either `http` (default) or `https`.
protocol: "https"
# Authentication credentials - either API key or username/password.
#api_key: "id:api_key"
username: "username"
password: "${password}"
What am I supposed to do here?
Thanks in advance
