I am trying to connect to the Elasticsearch and Kibana 7.10.2, launched from AWS under open source licence. I am trying to stream the logs from AWS CLoudwatch log group to Kibana, I have finished the set up of functionbeat 7.10.2 in the cloud, the triggers are placed for the cloudwatch log group and the lambda function was created during the functionbeat set up. On invoking the lambda function with a test cloudwatch log input, it throws the following error: ```auto because the kernel does not support seccomp 2021-11-08T19:32:23.747Z INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:981 Beat info {"system_info": {"beat": {"path": {"config": "/Users/jijojohny/functionbeat-7.10.2-darwin-x86_64", "data": "/tmp", "home": "/Users/jijojohny/functionbeat-7.10.2-darwin-x86_64", "logs": "/tmp/logs"}, "type": "functionbeat", "uuid": "99246201-daf6-4d47-b146-bf368019821c"}}} 2021-11-08T19:32:23.747Z INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:990 Build info {"system_info": {"build": {"commit": "aacf9ecd9c494aa0908f61fbca82c906b16562a8", "libbeat": "7.10.2", "time": "2021-01-12T22:42:50.000Z", "version": "7.10.2"}}} 2021-11-08T19:32:23.747Z INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:993 Go runtime info {"system_info": {"go": {"os":"linux","arch":"amd64","max_procs":2,"version":"go1.14.12"}}} 2021-11-08T19:32:23.748Z INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:997 Host info {"system_info": {"host": {"architecture":"x86_64","boot_time":"2021-11-08T19:06:45Z","containerized":true,"name":"169.254.27.65","ip":["127.0.0.1/8","169.254.79.130/30","169.254.76.1/23","169.254.79.1/32"],"kernel_version":"4.14.246-198.474.amzn2.x86_64","mac":["da:2f:77:89:96:3e","c2:b4:bc:1b:71:d0","3a:6a:8e:41:99:1a"],"os":{"family":"redhat","platform":"amzn","name":"Amazon Linux AMI","version":"2018.03","major":2018,"minor":3,"patch":0},"timezone":"UTC","timezone_offset_sec":0}}} 2021-11-08T19:32:23.748Z INFO [beat] instance/beat.go:1026 Process info {"system_info": {"process": {"capabilities": {"inheritable":null,"permitted":null,"effective":null,"bounding":["chown","dac_override","dac_read_search","fowner","fsetid","kill","setgid","setuid","setpcap","linux_immutable","net_bind_service","net_broadcast","net_admin","net_raw","ipc_lock","ipc_owner","sys_module","sys_rawio","sys_chroot","sys_ptrace","sys_pacct","sys_admin","sys_boot","sys_nice","sys_resource","sys_time","sys_tty_config","mknod","lease","audit_write","audit_control","setfcap","mac_override","mac_admin","syslog","wake_alarm","block_suspend","audit_read"],"ambient":null}, "cwd": "/var/task", "exe": "/var/task/functionbeat-aws", "name": "functionbeat-aw", "pid": 6, "ppid": 1, "seccomp": {"mode":"filter","no_new_privs":true}, "start_time": "2021-11-08T19:32:22.450Z"}}} 2021-11-08T19:32:23.748Z INFO instance/beat.go:299 Setup Beat: functionbeat; Version: 7.10.2 2021-11-08T19:32:23.748Z INFO [index-management] idxmgmt/std.go:184 Set output.elasticsearch.index to 'functionbeat-7.10.2' as ILM is enabled. 2021-11-08T19:32:23.750Z INFO eslegclient/connection.go:99 elasticsearch url: https://search- ********************.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com:443 2021-11-08T19:32:23.755Z INFO [publisher] pipeline/module.go:113 Beat name: 169.254.27.65 2021-11-08T19:32:23.756Z INFO instance/beat.go:455 functionbeat start running. 2021-11-08T19:32:23.756Z INFO [functionbeat] beater/functionbeat.go:94 Functionbeat is running 2021-11-08T19:32:23.756Z INFO [functionbeat] beater/functionbeat.go:100 Functionbeat is configuring enabled functions: fn-cloudwatch-logs 2021-11-08T19:32:23.756Z INFO [coordinator.Coordinator] core/coordinator.go:86 The function 'cloudwatch_logs' is starting 2021-11-08T19:32:23.761Z INFO [monitoring] log/log.go:118 Starting metrics logging every 30s 2021-11-08T19:32:24.791Z INFO [add_cloud_metadata] add_cloud_metadata/add_cloud_metadata.go:89 add_cloud_metadata: hosting provider type not detected. 2021-11-08T19:32:24.802Z INFO [publisher_pipeline_output] pipeline/output.go:143 Connecting to backoff(elasticsearch(https://search- *****************.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com:443)) 2021-11-08T19:32:24.802Z INFO [publisher] pipeline/retry.go:219 retryer: send unwait signal to consumer 2021-11-08T19:32:24.802Z INFO [publisher] pipeline/retry.go:223 done END RequestId: 2ab32dcb-3370-47dd-b729-094de46778c7 REPORT RequestId: 2ab32dcb-3370-47dd-b729-094de46778c7 Duration: 3004.28 ms Billed Duration: 3000 ms Memory Size: 128 MB Max Memory Used: 86 MB Init Duration: 463.51 ms 2021-11-08T19:32:26.769Z 2ab32dcb-3370-47dd-b729-094de46778c7 Task timed out after 3.00 seconds ``` As per this document: [Add cloud metadata | Filebeat Reference [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/add-cloud-metadata.html) I have added the `add_cloud_metadata` as well for AWS ```auto { "cloud": { "account.id": "1234567823", "availability_zone": "us-east-1c", "instance.id": " i-08f58b3079bf0sdf0d", "machine.type": "t2.2xlarge", "image.id": "ami-083654bd07hj334nsjd", "provider": "aws", "region": "us-east-1" } } ``` Any suggestions or help? ---

Did you try to run the functionbeat with additional debug flags: `-v -e -d "*"`? See issue: [Functionbeat can't find default credentials · Issue #17329 · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/17329) ---
