Has anyone configured kibana/elasticsearch to use HTTPS? I'm new to it and  
was wondering if there are any goods tuts out there? I'm using apache as my  
webserver and have ssl enabled. If I try to connect to ES using https I get  
a message in Kibana that says it was unable to connect to ES at  
x.x.x.x:9200.

Looking for some guidance. Any help is appreciate 🙂

Larry
