Hi all,

I am trying to secure elasticsearch with SSL certificates. I have configured SSL in ingress pointing to elastic, and then added the root and intermediate certificates in the filebeats image. However, when I configure filebeat to send data over HTTPS, I get the following error,

```auto
Cannot establish connection to (https://my-domain.com)
server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client

```

Any help regarding this will be appreciated !

Thanks and regards,  
Taseer

Hi!

The error message indicates that the server is not properly configured to authenticate over HTTPS but gave an answer using HTTP. Could you verify that you have successfully configured Elasticsearch with SLL. For this step you can also leave out Filebeat and use curt to reach the TLS secured Elasticsearch API.
