After I installed X-Pack, on Kibana my `filebeat-2017.05.16 ` stops receiving/updating new documents that are coming from my filebeat.

After installing X-pack, I tried it with

> PUT \_xpack/watcher/watch/cluster\_health\_watch  
> {  
> "trigger" : {  
> "schedule" : { "interval" : "10s" }  
> }  
> }

to test x-pack and then delete it with

> DELETE \_xpack/watcher/watch/cluster\_health\_watch

I'm not sure what caused my index stop updating documents after I installed X-Pack.

Thanks.

The most likely explanation is that X-Pack security is rejecting updates from beats (that is one of the features of security - it rejects actions from unauthenticated sources)

The [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/beats.html) walks through the process of integrating Beats with X-Pack security.
