Hi @bradfordaemorton,

This error indicates that metricbeat is failing to authenticate, you may need to setup and user and a password in the configuration with the options setup.kibana.username and setup.kibana.password.

The error with filebeat indicates some problem to connect, could you try to make a request with curl? e.g. curl http://159.65.99.121:9200.

Thanks Jaime,

I had to rebuild the server and the error doesn't happen anymore. Not sure what the issue was not.

Cheers,
Brad
