What is the index name that you are using in your set processor?

I'm not sure, but I think that if the name is not one of the default names, like `logs-*` or `metrics-*` it will not work.

Check this similar [question](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-fleet-server-cannot-create-write-to-index-insufficient-permissions/294181/2).

The documentation is a little confusing here, as it gives the impression that you could change the permissions for the `elastic/fleet-server`, but I don't think this is possible, it looks like this was a poor choice for an example.

@TimV Sorry to tag you, but since you answered a similar question, can you provide a little feedback here?
