Hi Min\_Mah In your config's you have just everywhere ssl.verification\_mode set to none except in the kibana section of your metricbeat.yml. Its comented out. Can you remove the # and retry? Please keep in mind about the documentation: Setting ssl.verification\_mode to none will not verify the certificates. Kind regards ---
