I keep getting ElasticsearchSecurityException

Search Guard
1

I’m constantly getting below exception in my code and I can’t tell from the stack why and where it’s coming from. I’m running ES and SearchGuard ver 5.3. The read and write operations are going through with no errors. That’s why I’m confused as to where this is coming from.

Any recommendations on how to debug this or get more information as to why the exception is happening?

Did you try setting the loglevel of SG to debug?

Instructions on how to do this are in the “Troubleshooting” section of the SG documentation.
