hi @shharukh , just judging from those configs, I can't really tell.

But I would start with [Encrypt communications in Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/configuring-tls.html#configuring-tls-kib-es), and follow the setup instructions from there.

Depending on the type of setup you have in Elasticsearch, the certirficate chain may not be setup correctly. You are either missing the

- `elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities`  
or
- `elasticsearch.ssl.truststore.path`

config-entries in your `kibana.yml`.

Please don't post screenshots of configuration or log files.  
They are impossible to search, hard to read on mobile devices and cannot be quoted as part of a reply.

It appears you are trying to use a CA for your transport and http keystore which is an incorrect configuration. The official [documentation for TLS in Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/configuring-tls.html) can walk you through the process of setting this up.
