Alright, I finally managed to get a shiny new local setup up and running!  
Thank you Stephen for your suggestions!

What I ended up doing is:

-- downloaded and installed Elasticseach, Kibana and Filebeat, all of version 8.4.3 , all from gz archives

-- before starting ES for the first time - updated its elasticsearch.yml - added the following settings (2 that Stephen suggested and one more I found online - for good measure 🙂 ):

```auto
xpack.security.autoconfiguration.enabled: false
xpack.security.enabled: false
xpack.security.enrollment.enabled: false

```

-- updated kibana.yml - added:

```auto
xpack.security.authc.http.enabled: false

```

-- started ES, then Kibana - verified then can connect and I can see ES monitoring data in Kibana (after enabling self-monitoring in Kibana)

-- updated my existing filebeat.yml - to connect to the local ES, and still read input data from GCP PubSub - and verified that events I publish in PubSub and correctly pushed by Filebeat into ES ! 🙂

Thank you, @stephenb ! Now I have a working local setup I can easily play with!  
... and now I can return to the GEO IP pipeline setup in a separate post
