Hello Experts, Issue : Unable to connect to elasticsearch, deployed configmap does not contain **username** : and **password** input. Background : I have installed Elastic search (XPACK enabled ) and kibana, this combination works fine. I was able to connect to elasticsearch from kibana using es username and password. I wanted to try out metricbeat and installed the same Installation method: _Helm - [https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts)_ I am able to login to kibana using same user without an issue. ` helm install metricbeat elastic/metricbeat --set imageTag=7.6.2 --values metrics.yaml --namespace default` **values** ```auto daemonset: extraEnvs: - name: 'ES_USERNAME' valueFrom: secretKeyRef: name: elastic-credentials key: username - name: 'ES_PASSWORD' valueFrom: secretKeyRef: name: elastic-credentials key: password # Allows you to add any config files in /usr/share/metricbeat # such as metricbeat.yml for daemonset metricbeatConfig: metricbeat.yml: | metricbeat.modules: - module: kubernetes metricsets: - container - node - pod - system - volume period: 10s host: "${NODE_NAME}" hosts: ["${NODE_NAME}:10250"] # bearer_token_file: /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token # ssl.verification_mode: "none" # If using Red Hat OpenShift remove ssl.verification_mode entry and # uncomment these settings: #ssl.certificate_authorities: #- /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/service-ca.crt processors: - add_kubernetes_metadata: ~ - module: kubernetes enabled: true metricsets: - event - module: system period: 10s metricsets: - cpu - load - memory - network - process - process_summary processes: ['.*'] process.include_top_n: by_cpu: 5 by_memory: 5 - module: system period: 1m metricsets: - filesystem - fsstat processors: - drop_event.when.regexp: system.filesystem.mount_point: '^/(sys|cgroup|proc|dev|etc|host|lib)($|/)' output.elasticsearch: username: '${ES_USERNAME}' password: '${ES_PASSWORD}' hosts: ["elasticsearch-master:9200"] ``` ```auto deployment: extraEnvs: - name: 'ES_USERNAME' valueFrom: secretKeyRef: name: elastic-credentials key: username - name: ES_PASSWORD' valueFrom: secretKeyRef: name: elastic-credentials key: password # Allows you to add any config files in /usr/share/metricbeat # such as metricbeat.yml for deployment metricbeatConfig: metricbeat.yml: | metricbeat.modules: - module: kubernetes enabled: true metricsets: - state_node - state_deployment - state_replicaset - state_pod - state_container period: 10s hosts: ["${KUBE_STATE_METRICS_HOSTS}"] output.elasticsearch: username: '${ES_USERNAME}' password: '${ES_PASSWORD}' hosts: ["elasticsearch-master:9200"] ``` **ERROR** `pipeline/output.go:100 Failed to connect to backoff(elasticsearch(http://elasticsearch-master:9200)): 401 Unauthorized: {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"security_exception","reason":"missing authentication credentials for REST request [/]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":"Basic realm=\"security\" charset=\"UTF-8\""}}],"type":"security_exception","reason":"missing authentication credentials for REST request [/]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":"Basic realm=\"security\" charset=\"UTF-8\""}},"status":401}` **configmap :** ```auto metricbeat.modules: - module: kubernetes metricsets: - container - node - pod - system - volume period: 10s host: "${NODE_NAME}" hosts: ["${NODE_NAME}:10255"] processors: - add_kubernetes_metadata: in_cluster: true - module: kubernetes enabled: true metricsets: - event - module: system period: 10s metricsets: - cpu - load - memory - network - process - process_summary processes: ['.*'] process.include_top_n: by_cpu: 5 by_memory: 5 - module: system period: 1m metricsets: - filesystem - fsstat processors: - drop_event.when.regexp: system.filesystem.mount_point: '^/(sys|cgroup|proc|dev|etc|host|lib)($|/)' output.elasticsearch: hosts: '${ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS:elasticsearch-master:9200}' ``` ---

Hi @Paul_20, Due to a recent refactoring, the values `daemonset.xxx` and `deployment.xxx` documented on Git repository master branch aren't compatible with the current released chart version. If you want to install the current released version ([7.6.2](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/releases/tag/7.6.2)), you can find the values to use on the [README from 7.6.2 release](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/blob/7.6.2/metricbeat/README.md#configuration). If you want to deploy the next version which should be released in a few days and will use `daemonset.xxx` and `deployment.xxx` values, you can clone the repo and use the [installation instructions from `7.7` branch](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/blob/7.7/metricbeat/README.md#using-the-77-branch). ---
