x-pack作为elasticsearch的增强组件，主要提供安全、监控等功能。elasticsearch安装x-pack组件的顺序如下图：
![image]( "image")
离线安装x-pack
因为大多数情况下，生产环境中的服务器无法访问到外网环境，因此，使用离线安装方式；在线安装方式见参考连接；
1）下载离线安装包，并上传至服务器；（集群中每个elasticsearch节点都要执行）
注：x-pack离线安装包包含elasticsearch、logstash、kibana中所需组件，可以共用；
2）执行安装命令；（集群中每个elasticsearch节点都要执行）
bin/elasticsearch-plugin install file:///path/to/file/x-pack-6.2.2.zip
注：此处的安装包路径一定是绝对路径，直接使用压缩包安装即可，无需解压；格式类似：file://路径
安装成功后结果类似如下：
current workdir: /home/work/elasticsearch-6.2.2
-> Downloading file:///home/work/x-pack-6.2.2.zip

-> Installed x-pack with: x-pack-security,x-pack-deprecation,x-pack-watcher,x-pack-core,x-pack-graph,x-pack-upgrade,x-pack-ml,x-pack-monitoring,x-pack-logstash
3）重启elasticsearch；启动后可看到加载组件中包含x-pack-*;（集群中每个elasticsearch节点都要执行）

4）以交互方式为内置用户elastic, kibana, logstash_system设置密码；（集群中任意一个elasticsearch节点执行即可）
bin/x-pack/setup-passwords interactive
期间需要输入每个用户要设置的密码，输入日志如下：
Initiating the setup of passwords for reserved users elastic,kibana,logstash_system.
You will be prompted to enter passwords as the process progresses.
Please confirm that you would like to continue [y/N]y
Enter password for [elastic]:
Reenter password for [elastic]:
Enter password for [kibana]:
Reenter password for [kibana]:
Enter password for [logstash_system]:
Reenter password for [logstash_system]:
Changed password for user [kibana]
Changed password for user [logstash_system]
Changed password for user [elastic]
注意：设置密码进需要在集群中任意一个elasticsearch节点执行完成即可，如果执行第二次，将会给出如下错误提示，如果需要更新密码，则可以通过kibana上的Management > Users进行更新：
Failed to authenticate user 'elastic' against http://10.113.130.33:8200/_xpack/security/_authenticate?pretty
Possible causes include:
* The password for the 'elastic' user has already been changed on this cluster
* Your elasticsearch node is running against a different keystore
This tool used the keystore at /home/work/elasticsearch-6.2.2/config/elasticsearch.keystore
ERROR: Failed to verify bootstrap password
