Hello,

I have enabled security on elasticsearch and created a ingest user with a dedicated role that it is used by the beats and logstash to ingest data into the elasticsearch. However I keep seing the following into the elasticsearch logs:

```
[2019-12-20T09:14:56,779][WARN][o.e.x.s.a.AuthenticationService] [mgt-vmnvlog01-1c.redcapcloud.local] Authentication to realm default_native failed - Password authentication failed for ingest

```

Is there anything I can do about it? Any other privileges that I have missed and was required?
