I'm trying to upgrade my Kubernetes cluster to use the 6.7.1 Docker image and I'm getting the following error when the container starts:

```auto
Failed to connect to backoff(myserver.es.amazonaws.com:443)): Connection marked as failed because the onConnect callback failed: cannot retrieve the elasticsearch license: unauthorized access, could not connect to the xpack endpoint, verify your credentials

```

How can I use the OSS Filebeat distribution in Docker/Kubernetes?

Hi,

By using the oss distribution of the docker images. Or maybe I misunderstand the question and you have a specific issue? They are listed on:  
[https://www.docker.elastic.co/#filebeat-6-7-1-oss](https://www.docker.elastic.co/#filebeat-6-7-1-oss)
