I issue a command below to update xpack license (security, graph, watcher are disabled - i am just using monitoring)
curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_xpack/license?acknowledge=true](http://localhost:9200/_xpack/license?acknowledge=true)' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @/etc/x-pack/license.json
I get the error below
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"action\_not\_found\_transport\_exception","reason":"No handler for action [cluster:admin/xpack/license/put]"}],"type":"action\_not\_found\_transport\_exception","reason":"No handler for action [cluster:admin/xpack/license/put]"},"status":500}
xpack is installed i verified it by going to [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200) (security, graph, watcher are disabled)
