We have setup an ES cluster(version 8.11.0) using ECK with xpack.security enabled and are getting the following error while trying to hit the "/_stats" API -
Sample curl request -
curl --location 'http://localhost:9200/_stats'
Error response -
{
"_shards": {
"total": 10,
"successful": 0,
"failed": 10,
"failures": [

},

When we try to get a specific index's stats, that works fine -
Sample curl request -
curl --location 'http://localhost:9200/test_index/_stats'

We have an existing ES cluster(version 7.16.3) with xpack.security disabled and the aforementioned "/_stats" request works fine there.
Can someone from the Elastic team please help confirm if we need to explicitly enable support for wildcards if xpack.security is enabled; and if yes, how can we achieve that since we could not find any supporting documentation.
