Another thing, when I add `xpack.security.transport.ssl` xpack modules, I receive the error below:  
xpack.security.enabled: true  
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true  
xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification\_mode: certificate  
xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: elastic-certificates.p12  
xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: elastic-certificates.p12

`org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.StartupException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: failed to load plugin class [org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.XPackPlugin]`
