I'm trying to run setup for the logstash (7.5.0) azure module. All examples are without security but we are using elasticsearch https.

I'm getting errors:

> [2020-01-14T09:42:45,431][ERROR][logstash.licensechecker.licensereader] Unable to retrieve license information from license server {:message=\>"Elasticsearch Unreachable: [[https://met-elk-csg06.missouri.edu:9200/](https://met-elk-csg06.missouri.edu:9200/)][Manticore::ClientProtocolException] PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"}

I think the key is "unable to find valid certification path", per tcpdump, no connection is attempted. I added these variables to the module config but they don't seem to make any difference:

```
   ....
   var.elasticsearch.cacerts: "/etc/logstash/certs/https_interm.cer"
   var.elasticsearch.user: userid
   var.elasticsearch.password: password
   ....

```

These values work in elasticsearch output plugins (in other logstash instances)

Any ideas or any pointers to where this is documented?

Thanks
