Hey guys!

I had the stack running, winlogbeats were sending logs to elastic and I could view them in kibana.

I then enabled security so we could have accounts and logins for different users, and it broke everything. I can now log into kibana, but there are no logs. I have entered a password and username for winlogbeat to authenticate with elastic, but it doesn't seem to be working (see the picture below).

I am not sure what else to do? HELP PLEASE! lol
