`elasticsearch-certutil http` is meant to be an interactive tool that guides you through making the appropriate selections and offers context. As such is it not meant to be scripted. If you know what you want to do and the information that your certificates need, you can use `elasticsearch-certutil cert` to generate your certificates for the HTTP layer of elasticsearch, which can be more easily scripted ---
