This is my filebeat output test :

filebeat test output

```auto
elasticsearch: https://172.10.110.29:9200...
  parse url... OK
  connection...
    parse host... OK
    dns lookup... OK
    addresses: 172.10.110.29
    dial up... OK

    handshake... OK
    TLS version: TLSv1.3
    dial up... OK
  talk to server... OK
  version: 8.10.4

```

but when I curl from filebeat to elasticsearch it is showing SSL error :

```auto
curl -v -XGET "https://172.10.110.29:9200" -u elastic --cacert /etc/filebeat/certs/http_ca.crt
Enter host password for user 'elastic':

That may be no read permission on the file for the user running `curl`

NSS error `-12190` is due to a TLS version mismatch.

At a guess, your ES node is configured to only support modern TLS versions, but your version of curl is quite old and isn't compatible with those versions.
