Elastic-Agent errors "failed to publish events" errors when sending Auditd logs to Logstash

We keep getting the following errors and warnings when trying to send auditd logs to logstash. We assume it is an ssl issue but how can we get logstash to ignore ssl verification when receiving data from a standalone elastic agent?
