I have successfully configured minimal security in my environment and am now moving on to Basic, so that I can use fleet and SIEM. Version of Elastic I am using is 7.13.4, on a RHEL 8.0 server. I only have 1 Elasticsearch server and am wondering if I need to create a CA or can I by-pass this step…

Do I need to generate a cert?

You will need it for Fleet, as well as using API Key Tokens elsewhere in the system.
