Hello!
I have set up basic Elastic+Kibana setup and I`m trying to get Filebeat up and running on the server.
I have configured it as from quick start guide, but I get this error:
> Exiting: error connecting to Kibana: fail to get the Kibana version: HTTP GET request to [https://10.20.20.30:5601/api/status](https://10.20.20.30:5601/api/status) fails: fail to execute the HTTP GET request: Get "[https://10.20.20.30:5601/api/status](https://10.20.20.30:5601/api/status)": x509: certificate signed by unknown authority. Response:
I`m not sure where to start - could you please guide me how to tackle this problem?
