Hi all ,

My problem is ...

Hey @zero.lim, welcome to discuss 🙂

Umm, it seems that it is using default kibana port (5601) instead of the 443 default HTTPS port. Could you try with this configuration?

```auto
setup.kibana:
  host: "https://kibana.nextlink.technology:443/app/kibana"
  username: "xxxxxx"
  password: "xxxxxx"

```

What version of filebeat are you using?

Did `filebeat setup` work with this url?

Oh sorry, my mistake, you also need to remove the path, so you only specify the host:

```auto
setup.kibana:
  host: "https://kibana.nextlink.technology:443"
  username: "xxxxxx"
  password: "xxxxxx"

```
