Not looking to be spoon fed a solution ... more a pointer to some kind of debugging I can perform ....
The error "plugin:elasticsearch@5.1.2 Authentication Exception" is driving me bananas and I have tried different usernames and passwords in the kibana.yml .. no dice.
curl -u kibana XGET -v http://localhost:9200
Enter host password for user 'kibana':

The XGET using the Kibana user is working.
Running elastic 5.1.2 with x-pack 5.1.2
Any pointers or nudges in the right direction are extremely helpful and appreciated!!!
