Solution 1:[1]

Try changing permissions with these to make sure:

sudo chown root ./filebeat/filebeat.yml
sudo chmod go-w ./filebeat/filebeat.yml

Solution 2:[2]

It is also possible to disable strict permission checks but it is not recommended.

Disabling Strict Permission Checks

You can disable strict permission checks from the command line by using -strict.perms=false, but we strongly encourage you to leave the checks enabled.
