Hi there,
since upgrading to v8.1 Filebeat no longer starts with the following error:
> Connection marked as failed because the onConnect callback failed: error loading template: failure while checking if template exists: 405 Method Not Allowed
Currently, the `flebeat_writer` user is supposed to have the following roles:
```auto
filebeat_writer:
cluster:
- manage_ilm
- manage_index_templates
- manage_ingest_pipelines
- monitor
- read_ilm
- read_pipeline
indices:
- names:
- filebeat
- filebeat-*
privileges:
- create_index
- manage
- write
```
Which roles are missing?

Hi @Specialist,
It seems there is a missing configuration in the template section from Filebeat.
I answered a very similar issue on GitHub, could you try the solution I posted there?

If it does not work for you, please post your Filebeat configuration and debug logs.
