Configure Auditbeat to use X-Pack security
editConfigure Auditbeat to use X-Pack security
editIf you want Auditbeat to connect to a cluster that has X-Pack security enabled, there are extra configuration steps:
-
Grant users access to secured resources.
You can use role-based access control to grant Auditbeat users access to secured resources.
-
Configure authentication credentials.
To interact with a secured cluster, Auditbeat must either provide basic authentication credentials or present a client certificate.
-
Configure Auditbeat to use encrypted connections.
If encryption is enabled on the cluster, you need to enable HTTPS in the Auditbeat configuration.
-
Set the password for the built-in monitoring user.
Auditbeat uses the
beats_systemuser to send monitoring data to Elasticsearch. If you plan to monitor Auditbeat in Kibana and have not yet set up the password, set it up now.
For more information about X-Pack security, see Securing the Elastic Stack.
