I want to connect my apm-server to my log stash that will do some preprocessing before dumping the metrics into Elasticsearch.

According to the documentation listed at [Configure the Logstash output | APM User Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/guide/current/logstash-output.html) I have to Enable the Kibana endpoint in APM. However the error I receive is

```auto

> "failed to obtain connection to Kibana: fail to get the Kibana version: HTTP GET request to http://helm-kibana-security-kibana:5601/api/status fails: fail to execute the HTTP GET request: Get \"http://helm-kibana-security-kibana:5601/api/status\": EOF (status=0)

apm-server:
      host: "0.0.0.0:8200"
      kibana:
        enabled: true
        host: "helm-kibana-security-kibana:5601"
        username: ${ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME}"
        password: "${ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD}"
  output.logstash:
          host: '${NODE_NAME}'
          enabled: true
          hosts: ["helm-logstash-security-logstash.elasticsearch:5044"]

```

This is my configuration for apm any leads on what I'm possibly missing ?
