Hi there,
I´m trying to setup kibana dashboard from filebeat but not working
Follow my test output:

```
and the output trying to add the dashboards using filebeat setup -e:
```auto

Hello @francescouk
By seeing the " **error**" log level which you have provided the certificate has been expired on 2nd of April.
```auto
certificate has expired or is not yet valid: current time 2022-05-18T20:28:53-03:00
```
if you would like to still achieve this, we can do two things
1. Try renewing the new certificate - (Recommended way)
(or)
2. Turning off the ssl verification and changing protocol from https to http (Not Recommended way at all)
Hope this helps 🙂
Keep Posted!!! Thanks !!!

Hi there,
I´m using elastic self signed certificate. Strange, just done 2 months ago. Anyway, which would be the best approach to renew using Elasticsearch-certutil?

@francescouk
Yes, if you are using self managed Elastic cluster. This document would help

Hi there,
Done the update but still receiving errors while trying to connect kibana to setup the dashboards:
```auto

```
Can you please have a look?
Thanks
