I have created a self-signed cert on our side, created the secret form the certs and added under spec: http: tls: certificate, but operator does not update the pod, so that elastic pod runs its own cert. Could you please help?

spec:  
monitoring:  
logs: {}  
metrics: {}  
http:  
service:  
metadata: {}  
spec: {}  
tls:  
certificate:  
secretName: Elasticsearch-instance1-es-http-cert

The operator should update the secret content with your certificate, and Elasticsearch is able to hot-reload the certificate files if they change. Pods don't need to be recreated/updated.
