Hey,

is it possible that TLS/SSL is enabled?

HOW TO CHECK if it is enabled ?
and how to enable it?

By sending a https:// request via curl

you mean like this (curl -XGET https://172.19.14.67:9200/

i try but the response this error :

curl -XGET https://172.19.14.67:9200/
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.

There is an explanation and a link. Have you taken a look at that?

This means, that there is actually a TLS connection made and your Elasticsearch cluster is using a encrpytion to communicate. This also means you need to configure Kibana to make sure it also uses encrypted connections to Elasticsearch.

See Set up basic security for the Elastic Stack | Elasticsearch Guide [8.1] | Elastic for some more guidance around this, if you are using Elastic Stack 8.

To further verify that you are correctly connecting to your Elasticsearch instance you can try:

curl -v -k https://172.19.14.67:9200/

The "-v" will display the headers coming back from the server and the "-k" will make curl ignore the self self signed certificate error so the page can actually be loaded.
