Hi, I have the same problem as someone had by the topic: > [@Kibana Elasticsearch TLS does not work (alert and actions)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-elasticsearch-tls-does-not-work-alert-and-actions/255682): > > I followed all steps in the guide but unfortunately, it did not work for me . server.port: 5601 # Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values. # The default is 'localhost', which usually means remote machines will not be able to connect. # To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address. server.host: "kibana-pp.com" # Enables you to specify a path t… Does it possible to investigate the reason why it doesn't work? Maybe some checklist or to run some command to identify which of the instruction point I don't implement? ---

I am not too sure what error you see but the thread you reference there is an error specifying that Kibana requires TLS communications to Elasticsearch to be able to use alert and actions ? If so, you should verify elasticsearch http layer uses TLS per [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.11/configuring-tls.html) - ie should be accessible via `curl https://elasticsearch:9200` and not `curl http://elasticsearch:9200`. Kibana documentation to also encrypt kibana http server is [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.11/configuring-tls.html) Hope this helps. If not please provide elasticsearch.yml and kibana.yml, along with the error you see ---
