Hi Team,

I am trying to connect my winlogbeat agent to ubuntu ELK with logstash by ssl authentication

Here is my winlogbeat.yml  
####################################################  
winlogbeat.event\_logs:

- name: Application  
ignore\_older: 72h
- name: Security
- name: System
- name: ForwardedEvents

#==================== Elasticsearch template setting ==========================

setup.template.settings:  
index.number\_of\_shards: 3  
#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------  
output.logstash:

# The Logstash hosts

hosts:["serverip:5044"]  
#ssl.enabled:true  
#index: winlogbeat

# Optional SSL. By default is off.

# List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications

tls:

- ssl.certificate\_authorities:["C:\Program Files\winlogbeat-6.5.4-windows-x86\_64\logstash-forwarder.crt"]
- ssl.verification\_mode: none

processors:

- add\_host\_metadata: ~
- add\_cloud\_metadata: ~  
##################################

Here is the error message while i running the configtest command

Exiting: error unpacking config data: can not convert 'string' into 'object' accessing 'output.logstash' (source:'winlog
