Filebeats can not connect to ElasticSearch

In version 8.5 of Elastic Search and Filebeats
I can not ship the logs from Filebeats to Elasticsearch

Here is the error log

Here is the config of Filebeats output

# ---------------------------- Elasticsearch Output ----------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
  # Array of hosts to connect to.
  hosts: ["18.139.158.62:9200"]

  # Protocol - either `http` (default) or `https`.
  #protocol: "https"

  # Authentication credentials - either API key or username/password.
  #api_key: "id:api_key"
  username: "elastic"
  password: "passmeifyoucan(example not real pass)"

There is no big changes on Elasticsearch config, I just changed the network hosts to 0.0.0.0.

From the filebeat server run this

curl -v -u elastic http://18.139.158.62:9200

here is the output for curl

So that tells us your elasticsearch has https enabled.

@Zay_Lin_Htun please be more careful with where you put your topics, Filebeat issues do not belong in #elastic-stack:kibana for eg.
