Hi @emnioj 🙂 I'm not sure about the root of the issue but can you share the entire config file, please? I don't see the Elasticsearch config. Thanks in advance ---

Thanks for looking into it. i sorted it just now. issue was like i have enabled some modules and have not provided the username and password in modules config (seems to be ). When i disable the modules and restarted the metricbeat , its not throwing the error. regards, Manish ---

You can see which modules you have enabled and disabled with `metricbeat modules list` and you can disable those that you are not using with `metricbeat modules disable [module]` 🙂 ---
