As the message states you must configure security in order to use this feature.

You can use metricbeat without security, but not centralized management.

@anusree_arun,

First you need to check metricbeat-* index is created automatically or not. If index is created are you getting logs in metricbeat index? If you are getting logs in metricbeat index then you can check metricbeat dashboard under dashboard tab in left hand side on kibana. If you are not getting logs then you need to check or review your metricbeat configuration again. You can follow the below documentation:

Thanks.
