Hello,

I am experiencing issues when trying to set up the RPM repository for Elasticsearch as described in the official guide: [Install Elasticsearch with RPM | Elasticsearch Guide [8.14] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.14/rpm.html#rpm-repo).

Here is the command I am using as per the guide:

sudo rpm --import [https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch](https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch)  
cat \<\<EOF | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo  
[elasticsearch-8.x]  
name=Elasticsearch repository for 8.x packages  
baseurl=[https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/yum](https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/yum)  
gpgcheck=1  
gpgkey=[https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch](https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch)  
enabled=1  
autorefresh=1  
type=rpm-md  
EOF

# dnf update

Standard tests with ping, curl, etc. Check date/time sync for ssl.
