Hello,
I am trying to configure my elastic fleet such that elastic agents connect to a logstash instance, secured with SSL. I set up the SSL for logstash, and was now trying to configure the agents. To make sure that the configuration remains stable, I tried to set this up in the kibana configuration as follows:
```yaml
xpack.fleet.outputs:
- id: logstash
name: logstash
type: logstash
hosts: ["${var.logstash_subdomain}.mydomain.com:5044"]
is_default: true
ssl:
certificate: |-
${var.tls_cert_logstash.clientcrt}
certificate_authorities:
- |-
${var.tls_cert_logstash.cacrt}
key: |-
${var.tls_cert_logstash.clientkey}
```
Unfortunately, it seems that it is not possible to use this configuration here. As such I removed the ssl part. However, now my kibana instance seems to be broken as it keeps giving the same error. The container logs show the following:
```auto

I am now unable to do any fleet configuration as the plugin is completely broken and unusable.
Any fix/help would be very welcome!
