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.
