I am trying to connect to the configured Elasticsearchservice instance in AWS from my machine and getting the following error. Any help is appreciated.

ven@ven:~$ sudo metricbeat setup

Exiting: Couldn't connect to any of the configured Elasticsearch hosts. Errors: [Error connection to Elasticsearch [https://search-Ven-demo-sjlkajsdlkajsdasdas.us-east-2.es.amazonaws.com:9200](https://search-Ven-demo-sjlkajsdlkajsdasdas.us-east-2.es.amazonaws.com:9200): Get [https://search-Ven-demo-sjlkajsdlkajsdasdas.us-east-2.es.amazonaws.com:9200](https://search-Ven-demo-sjlkajsdlkajsdasdas.us-east-2.es.amazonaws.com:9200): net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)]

@warkolm thanks for the response. No I should have port 443 in yml file and changed it now it works perfect.

I want to create dashboards for the metricbeat data any suggestions?
