hi, recently i installed xpack and then suddenly my metricbeat doesnt work anymore.  
it should be send log to my elastic.  
but when i check it in my kibana, it throw me error msg like this.

this is my metricbeat.yml setting

metricsets:  
# CPU stats  
- cpu

```
# System Load stats
- load

# Per CPU core stats
- core

# IO stats
- diskio

# Per filesystem stats
- filesystem

# File system summary stats
- fsstat

```

# Memory stats

```
- memory

# Network stats
- network

# Per process stats
- process

```

enabled: true

# enable cpgroups option

period: 10s  
processes: ['.\*']  
cpu\_ticks: false

output.elasticsearch:

# Array of hosts to connect to.

hosts: ["localhost:9200"]

# Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.

#protocol: "https"  
username: "elastic"  
password: "techno2013"

#output.logstash:

# The Logstash hosts

hosts: ["localhost:5044"]

# username: "elastic"

# password: "techno2013"

i try to run this  
curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/metricbeat-\*/\_search?pretty](http://localhost:9200/metricbeat-*/_search?pretty)'

but still, i cant access my metricbeat logs.

this is the prove that my configuration was working before i installed xpack plugin.

Hi,

When X-Pack is installed, the cluster get automatically secured using the Security plugin that is part of the X-Pack and enabled by default.

You need to configure the security for the metricbeat as documented in [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.1/beats.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.1/beats.html)
