I created two docker containers for dremio and elasticsearch, and placed them on bridge docker network. I can curl to elasticsearch. When I connect to elasticsearch from dremio gui for adding data source, it does not connect saying privileged user error.

**Encountered a problem while executing com.dremio.plugins.elastic.ElasticActions$NodesInfo@51c7f2a7. Cannot gather Elasticsearch nodes information. Please make sure that the user has [cluster:monitor/nodes/info] privilege.**

My curl output in dremio container is fine. If I use same host name in dremio gui, it gives above error.

$ curl [https://b278-2600-1700-7270-6310-55a8-e947-10d2-15ce.xxx.xx](https://b278-2600-1700-7270-6310-55a8-e947-10d2-15ce.xxx.xx)
