It seems to me that you have certificate problems. You are trying to send to [l-elk1.mydomain.net](http://l-elk1.mydomain.net) and have the cert of [elk.mydomain.net](http://elk.mydomain.net). By changing your cert to the right one eliminates this problem.

If you need help on SSL, you can find more here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-ssl.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/configuration-ssl.html)

Let me know if you have further questions.
