Hi all.  
I have AWS Elasticsearch 7.8 and also, for testing purposes, I have a minikube kubernetes where I installed through Helm, metricbeat.  
When I do metricbeat test config it seems to be ok and test output  
parse url... OK  
connection...  
parse host... OK  
dns lookup... OK  
addresses: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  
dial up... OK  
TLS...  
security: server's certificate chain verification is enabled  
handshake... OK  
TLS version: TLSv1.2  
dial up... OK  
talk to server... OK  
version: 7.8.0

but when I try **metricbeat setup** I got the following error

> Exiting: error connecting to Kibana: fail to get the Kibana version: HTTP GET request to https://:5601/\_plugin/kibana/api/status fails: fail to execute the HTTP GET request: Get "https://:5601/\_plugin/kibana/api/status": dial tcp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5601: connect: connection refused. Response: .

any idea? the AWS Elk doesn't have 5601 port opened by design while if I do the CURL on the URL I get all the info I need as it doesn't use the port 5601.

Also the setup goes on HTTP but the AWS one is on HTTPS.

Cheers
