How to solve elastic error of "Readiness probe failed: Error: Got HTTP code 503 but expected a 200" in GKE?

I am installing Elastic on GKE with the helm chart here. But after running this command helm upgrade kibana elastic/kibana --values kibana.yaml , it runs successfully but the pod gives this error Readiness probe failed: Error: Got HTTP code 503 but expected a 200 in events.

The values file is shown thus:

elasticsearchHosts: "https://security-master:9200"

I am wondering what might be the issue - could someone advice on how I could avoid this error entirely, thanks!
