Hi,  
I am preparing a demo to send Cloudwatch log to the Elastic Cloud, and deployed cloudwatch\_log functionbeat lambda. It seems the lambda detecting cloudwatch log changes, but I am getting an error:

Exiting: could not initialize the keystore: open /root/functionbeat-6.5.4-linux-x86\_64/functionbeat.keystore: permission denied

Any suggestion or advice, please?  
Thanks  
Chang Lee
