Hi,  
I need some support regarding http\_request\_failure when ssl is configured.  
I have a URL to be used as input of logstash and I have 3 Elastic Nodes , 2 Logstash node and 1 Kibana Node and ssl is configured on all nodes.

I'm getting below error after running conf file  
{  
"tags" =\> [  
[0] "\_http\_request\_failure",  
[1] "\_split\_type\_failure"
