I am attempting to run the winlogbeat.exe setup -e command from my windows machine. ES/Kibana is in the AWS cloud and I am connecting via the public dns of my AWS instance. When I run the setup command, it states that the certificate is valid for localhost but not my FQDN of the AWS server. I need to create another ssl\_ca\_trusted fingerprint that references my FQDN not the localhost. How do I do that?
