Hi there,

Just add --insecure to the command line, see [How to deploy an elastic-agent in fleet against an elasticsearch with a self-signed certificate?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-deploy-an-elastic-agent-in-fleet-against-an-elasticsearch-with-a-self-signed-certificate/276575) where I described a further obstacle.

Best regards  
Robert
