After setting up the opendistro for elasticsearch stack, I tried to setup beats and push data to elastic search.

when I executed sudo filebeat setup , I got below error,

root@server1:~# sudo filebeat setup  
Loaded index template  
Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable)  
Loaded dashboards  
Exiting: 2 errors: Error checking if xpack is available: 500 Internal Server Error: {“error”:{“root\_cause”:[{“type”:“security\_exception”,“reason”:“Unexpected exception indices:admin/get”}],“type”:“security\_exception”,“reason”:“Unexpected exception indices:admin/get”},“status”:500}; Error checking if xpack is available: 500 Internal Server Error: {“error”:{“root\_cause”:[{“type”:“security\_exception”,“reason”:“Unexpected exception indices:admin/get”}],“type”:“security\_exception”,“reason”:“Unexpected exception indices:admin/get”},“status”:500}

Also I found below error in elasticsearch node,

odfe-node1 | [2019-03-24T05:01:37,003][ERROR][c.a.o.s.f.OpenDistroSecurityFilter] [gWC\_IgA] Unexpected exception [\_xpack] InvalidIndexNameException[Invalid index name [_xpack], must not start with '_‘.]
