Hi, i'm trying to secure my stack to enable alerts. Elasticsearch and Kibana is up and running but when i'm trying to enable https to the elasticsearch from logstash i get crash.
The output config looks like this:
output {
if [type] == "firewall" {
elasticsearch {
id =\> "pfelk"
hosts =\> ["[https://localhost:9200](https://localhost:9200)"]
index =\> "pfelk-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
manage\_template =\> true
template =\> "/etc/logstash/conf.d/templates/pf-geoip.json"
template\_name =\> "pf-geoip"
template\_overwrite =\> false
cacert =\> "/etc/logstash/va.ca"
user =\> "yyy"
password =\> "xxx"
}
}
tailing the log i get this output:
[2020-08-31T16:41:42,589][INFO][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch][main] Elasticsearch pool URLs updated {:changes=\>{:removed=\>, :added=\>[[https://yyyyyy:xxxxxx@localhost:9200/](https://yyyyyy:xxxxxx@localhost:9200/)]}}
[2020-08-31T16:41:42,967][ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute action {:id=\>:main, :action\_type=\>LogStash::ConvergeResult::FailedAction, :message=\>"Could not execute action: PipelineAction::Create, action\_result: false", :backtrace=\>nil}
I see nothing the in Elasticsearch log.
