Im trying to setup kibana and fleet uisng the following example. [https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/blob/main/config/recipes/elastic-agent/fleet-kubernetes-integration.yaml](https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/blob/main/config/recipes/elastic-agent/fleet-kubernetes-integration.yaml)

However kibana is giving me the following error:

I managed to fix this, the github example breaks the authentication for unknown reason

```auto
   - package:
          name: system
        name: system-1
      - package:
          name: kubernetes
        name: kubernetes-1

```

should be

```auto
        package_policies:
          - name: system-1
            id: system-1
            package:
              name: system
          - name: kubernetes-1
            id: kubernetes-1
            package:
              name: kubernetes 

```
