I have work with kibana + ElasticSearch + Logstash very well! but when I try to install x-pack , I want to run GrokDebug to work! I got this error! I didn't find any configuration docs from official website! anyone help?

It looks like you are signed in to Kibana using the kibana user. This is a built-in user that is actually intended for internal use by the Kibana server. You most likely want to sign in with a different user, one that you have explicitly created yourself.

When you create this new user, make sure to assign it a role that has the manage_ingest_pipelines cluster privilege. Additionally, this new user should also have the built-in kibana_user role assigned to it as well.
