xpack.security.transport . ssl.verification\_ mode: certificate
xpack.security.transport . ssl.keystore.path : certs/elastic-certificates.p12
xpack.security.transport . ssl.truststore.path : certs/elastic-certificates.p12
` ` ` `
On kibana, the remote cluster status indicates that the remote cluster is "not connected"
