Your issue seems to be using http instead of https. I suggest you try changing in both `elasticsearch.yml` and `elasticsearch-xpack.yml` in the `/modules.d` directory, `hosts` to use https. For example, here’s `elasticsearch-xpack.yml` : `- module: elasticsearch xpack.enabled: true period: 10s hosts: ["[https://localhost:9200](https://localhost:9200/)"] #username: "user" #password: "secret"` ---

What do you get if you just try `http://localhost:9200` What version of the stack are you on `http://localhost:9200/_status` I don't believe this is a valid endpoint... ---
