You didn't specify the Kibana port, so it will try to connect on port `443`.

But here you correctly passed port 5601.

You should use port 5601 as well in your filebeat command.

I re-run following command, and now it's working (even w/out specifying port)

```auto
root@linuxkit-baae1e2b3f26:/usr/share/filebeat# filebeat -e -E output.elasticsearch.protocol=https -E output.elasticsearch.ssl.verification_mode=none -E output.elasticsearch.hosts=dd-es-http.default.svc.cluster.local -E setup.kibana.host=https://dd-kb-http.default.svc.cluster.local -E setup.kibana.ssl.verification_mode=none setup --dashboards

```
