Cert error for intial setup of fileBeat

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hello,
I've followed the documention to connect client with filebeat to elasticsearch : Filebeat quick start: installation and configuration | Filebeat Reference [8.7] | Elastic

My filebeat.yml

# ---------------------------- Elasticsearch Output ----------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
  # Array of hosts to connect to.
  hosts: ["myip:9200"]

  # Protocol - either `http` (default) or `https`.
  protocol: "https"

  # Authentication credentials - either API key or username/password.
  #api_key: "id:api_key"
  username: "elastic"
  password: "mypassword"
  ssl:
    enabled: true
    ca_trusted_fingerprint: ""

For the ca_trusted_fingerprint, I use the followed command find in the documentation on my elasticsearch machine with the following output

/etc/elasticsearch/certs# openssl x509 -fingerprint -sha256 -in /etc/elasticsearch/certs/http_ca.crt
sha256 Fingerprint=03:57:5A:6B:8E:C5:C1:C8:FA:8B:66:6D:B4:2D:36:E6:65:AB:C5:C2:4C:14:37:16:8E:11:7E:CD:CF:6A:17:10

I've pasted the fingerprint in filebeat.yml
Then I run the filebeat setup and this append

sudo filebeat setup
Exiting: couldn't connect to any of the configured Elasticsearch hosts. Errors: [error connecting to Elasticsearch at https://myip:9200: Get "https://myip:9200": decode 'ca_trusted_fingerprint': encoding/hex: invalid byte: U+003A ':']

Now i'm stuck..
Can you provide help ?
