I want to establish connectivity between filebeat running on a linux based VM and logstash running in kubernetes(logstash exposed through ingress)

I have specified logstash output in the filebeat.yml file host: ["https://example.com/logstash"]. I have multiple services exposed through ingress and hence I want the logstash also to be exposed through the same ingress resource. The host attached to ingress resource is https://www.example.com. And I am using the .crt file of the TLS/SSL certificate associated with example.com in the certificate autority key of the filebeat.yml to secure the connection between filebeat and logstash. And in the logstash.yml which is running on kubernetes I have specified the input as tcp type instead of beats type. Logstash service is running of ClusterIP Type and has the following ingress rule

   http:
     paths:
     - backend:
         serviceName: logstash-service
         servicePort: 5044
       path: /logstash

Now when I run this entire setup the filebeat on the VM gives me error

  output.go:100#011Failed to connect to backoff(async(tcp://https://example.com/logstash)): lookup https on 168.63.129.16:53: no such host

Is this setup technically possible? What should be the host what I should specify in filebeat and what should be the logstash input type? Will specifying the tls.crt specified in filebeat help in authenticating with /logstash?
