Hi all, I'm new to ELK and I'm using filebeat to harvest log data and send them to elasticsearch and use kibana to show data. And I use search guard to enable HTTPS and basic auth for elasticsearch. After configing https and basic auth for es, i start up kibana and it started well ``` [root@localhost kibana]# ./bin/kibana ``` log [02:15:11.929] [info][status][plugin:kibana@6.2.4] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [02:15:12.201] [info][status][plugin:elasticsearch@6.2.4] Status changed from uninitialized to yellow - Waiting for Elasticsearch log [02:15:12.611] [info][status][plugin:timelion@6.2.4] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [02:15:12.639] [info][status][plugin:console@6.2.4] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [02:15:12.657] [info][status][plugin:metrics@6.2.4] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [02:15:12.740] [info][listening] Server running at [http://x.x.x.x:5601](http://x.x.x.x:5601) log [02:15:12.816] [info][status][plugin:elasticsearch@6.2.4] Status changed from yellow to green - Ready but when i login to the kibana web page and click the Discover button it shows that Authentication Exception whit a response {"statusCode":401,"error":"Unauthorized","message":"Authentication Exception"} Error: Authentication Exception at [http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16627:1:688862](http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16627:1:688862) at processQueue ([http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:132456](http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:132456)) at [http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:133349](http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:133349) at Scope.$digest ([http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:144239](http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:144239)) at Scope.$apply ([http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:147018](http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:147018)) at done ([http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:100026](http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:100026)) at completeRequest ([http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:104697](http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:104697)) at XMLHttpRequest.xhr.onload ([http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:105435](http://172.22.6.25:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16627:58:105435)) Can anyone please give me some help , thanks all. ---

After some attempt, i have figured out that wrong username or password in the filebeat.yml is the reason for "Authentication Exception" in the kibana web page. Since i changed the default password for admin user of es, but i did not run the sgadmin.sh to bring it into effect and then i changed the es password in the filebeat.yml. The filebeat log shows that > Failed to connect: 401 Unauthorized: Unauthorized And the es log shows thar > Authentication finally failed for admin It's a really self mistake, sorry for that. ---
