Rest authentication success t realm= uri= params= – How to solve this Elasticsearch error

Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch successfully authenticates a user via the REST API. The “realm” part refers to the security realm that authenticated the user, and “uri params” are the parameters passed in the request. This is not an error message, but rather an informational message indicating successful authentication. If you’re seeing this unexpectedly, it could indicate unauthorized access. To resolve this, ensure that your security settings are correctly configured, regularly update your passwords, and monitor your logs for any suspicious activity.
