Unexpected response code [405] from calling GET [http://127.0.0.1:9200/\_security/\_authenticate?pretty](http://127.0.0.1:9200/_security/_authenticate?pretty)  
It doesn't look like the X-Pack security feature is enabled on this Elasticsearch node.  
Please check if you have enabled X-Pack security in your elasticsearch.yml configuration file.

ERROR: X-Pack Security is disabled by configuration.
