Hello There!  
I am trying to set up my fleet server and elastic agent.  
I am asked to do this:

```auto
sudo elastic-agent enroll --url=https://{{ip_address}}:{{port_number_1}} \
  --fleet-server-es=https://{{ip_address}}:{{port_number_2}} \
  --fleet-server-service-token=redacted \
  --fleet-server-policy=redacted \
--certificate-authorities=/etc/filebeat/elastic-stack-ca.pem --fleet-server-es-ca=/etc/elasticsearch/elastic-stack-ca.pem --fleet-server-cert=/etc/kibana/es.crt.pem --fleet-server-cert-key=/etc/kibana/es.key.pem

```

After firing command I am asked am I sure I want to continue:

```auto
This will replace your current settings. Do you want to continue? [Y/n]:y

```

And than this happens:

```auto
2022-09-05T10:33:40.599+0200	INFO	cmd/enroll_cmd.go:776	Fleet Server - Stopping
2022-09-05T10:34:42.627+0200	INFO	cmd/enroll_cmd.go:776	Fleet Server - Error - dial tcp 195.187.35.164:8220: connect: connection refused
Error: fleet-server failed: context canceled
For help, please see our troubleshooting guide at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/7.17/fleet-troubleshooting.html

```

This is my `elastic-agent.yml`:

```auto
# ================================ General =====================================
# Beats is configured under Fleet, you can define most settings
# from the Kibana UI. You can update this file to configure the settings that
# are not supported by Fleet.
fleet:

# # start operation is considered a failure
# spawn_timeout: 30s

# agent.retry:
# # enabled determines whether retry is possible. Default is false.
# enabled: true
# # retries_count specifies number of retries. Default is 3.
# # Retry count of 1 means it will be retried one time after one failure.
# retries_count: 3
# # delay specifies delay in ms between retries. Default is 30s
# delay: 30s
# # max_delay specifies maximum delay in ms between retries. Default is 300s
# max_delay: 5m
# # Exponential determines whether delay is treated as exponential.
# # With 30s delay and 3 retries: 30, 60, 120s
# # Default is false
# exponential: false

```

I tried to compare my error with [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/7.17/fleet-troubleshooting.html) but I can't understand what is wrong.
