Hello,
I have just installed 7.1.1 with security enabled. I have reconfigured the metricbeat with the credentials but when I am starting it would fail with the following errors:
```
https://pastebin.com/GhD3hH5a
```
The metricbeat.yml looks like this:
```
metricbeat.config.modules:
# Glob pattern for configuration loading
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
# Set to true to enable config reloading
reload.enabled: false
# Period on which files under path should be checked for changes
#reload.period: 10s
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
index.codec: best_compression
#_source.enabled: false
tags: ["logger", "management"]
setup.dashboards.enabled: true
setup.kibana:
host: "http://localhost:5601"
output.elasticsearch:
hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
username: "ingest"
password: "somepass"
processors:
- add_host_metadata: ~
- add_cloud_metadata: ~
logging.level: error
logging.selectors: ["*"]
xpack.monitoring.enabled: true
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch:
username: "beat_system"
password: "some beat encrypted password"
migration.6_to_7.enabled: true
```
Any idea what the problem could be?

1. In kibana yml set ssl option to false as below.
server.ssl.enabled: false
2. restart the kibana
systemctl restart kibana
3. update the kibana secution in metricbeat yml, as below
setup.kibana:
host: "[http://username:password@x.x.x.x:5601](http://username:password@x.x.x.x:5601)"
use kibana login username & password and kibana ip address.
1. then run below command where metricbeat installed
./metricbeat.exe setup --dashboards
2. after exporting dashboards, roll back ssl option to true in kibaya.yml as show in below. and restart kibana.
server.ssl.enabled: true

I have observed that the error is happening only if I run the setup command from local machine to elasticsearch. I was able to import all dashboards properly using a remote machine. Therefore I don't believe that it is related to kibana username/password of ssl enabled or not.

I donβt think that the issue is Metricbeat related since the filebeat and heartbeat is having the same behavior.
