Hello,
Kibana shows errors for some built in rules, the error says:
`[security_exception] Reason: missing authentication credentials for REST request [/_security/user/_has_privileges], caused by: ""`
and my master node used to show error about missing api key, what could be happening ?
Thank you.

What's your authentication setup for your cluster?

Hello,
I'm using basic auth username/password, after installing Elastic Agent in version 7.15.1 I enabled api keys as recomended.
I would like to inform you also that I fixed the issue by disabling then re-enabling the rules from
` Stack managment > Kibana > rules and connectors`.
