Hi Friends,

I am facing issue with ELK stack deployed on AWS ECS.

Whenever I am trying to connect enable x-pack feature, Elasticsearch and Kibana containers are not coming up. EC2 instance is behind Application load balancer.

Error in Target group of Elasticsearch is “service [es-services](https://eu-central-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ecs/home?region=eu-central-1#/clusters/prod/services/es-services) (instance i-096a3b81dcdfbf1b9) (port 9200) is unhealthy in target-group [TG-ES](https://eu-central-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=eu-central-1#TargetGroups:search=arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:eu-central-1:627438539446:targetgroup/TG-ES/bb69193fb629990c) due to (reason Health checks failed with these codes: [401])” and error in Target group of Kibana “service [kb-services](https://eu-central-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ecs/home?region=eu-central-1#/clusters/prod/services/kb-services) (instance i-096a3b81dcdfbf1b9) (port 50186) is unhealthy in target-group [kibana-tg](https://eu-central-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=eu-central-1#TargetGroups:search=arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:eu-central-1:627438539446:targetgroup/kibana-tg/7295368a8d91754c) due to (reason Health checks failed with these codes: [302])”.

Elasticsearch config is below

cluster.name: "prod"

bootstrap.memory\_lock: false

network.host: 0.0.0.0

network.publish\_host: _ec2:privateIp_

transport.publish\_host: _ec2:privateIp_

discovery.zen.hosts\_provider: ec2

discovery.ec2.tag.Elasticsearch: prod

discovery.ec2.endpoint: ec2.${REGION}.amazonaws.com

s3.client.default.endpoint: s3.${REGION}.amazonaws.com

xpack.security.transport.ssl.client\_authentication: optional

xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: elastic-certificates.p12

Elasticsearch version is 6.8.9

Thanks in advance for looking into this.

Welcome to our community! 😃

FYI 6.8 is [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) and you need to upgrade as a matter of urgency.

I think we'd need to see more of those logs please.

Please format your code/logs/config using the `</>` button, or markdown style back ticks. It helps to make things easy to read which helps us help you 🙂
