Nice video training. Do you have any on how to enroll clients? Do you use the fleet client or install filebeats manually?

The logstash_system user was not created when you connected Logstash to Elasticsearch, it comes by default.

And this user has the minimum permissions necessary for monitoring logstash itself with X-Pack, and should not be used for any other purpose - it is specifically not intended for use within a Logstash pipeline.
