i follow exactly the documentaion , but we stuck on 🙂
filebeat setup.
```auto
filebeat setup
Exiting: couldn't connect to any of the configured Elasticsearch hosts. Errors: [error connecting to Elasticsearch at https://127.0.0.1:9200: Get "https://127.0.0.1:9200": decode 'ca_trusted_fingerprint': encoding/hex: invalid byte: U+002F '/']
```
My conf;
```auto
output.elasticsearch:
# Array of hosts to connect to.
hosts: ["127.0.0.1:9200"]
# Protocol - either `http` (default) or `https`.
protocol: "https"
# Authentication credentials - either API key or username/password.

ssl.ca_trusted_fingerprint: "/etc/filebeat/certs/http_ca.crt"
ssl.verificationMode: none
```
"/etc/filebeat/certs/http\_ca.crt" i s a copy of "/etc/Elasticsearch/certs/http\_ca.crt"

The `ssl.ca_trusted_fingerprint` value is the actual fingerprint, not a path to the file. If u want to use a file use `ssl.certificate_authorities` which is a list of trusted CA files
