I am trying to monitor kibana with Metricbeat kibana-xpack. But i am getting below log messages.

```auto
Jul 27 05:47:09 xxxxxxxxx metricbeat[149229]: 2021-07-27T05:47:09.110-0700#011ERROR#011[kibana.stats]#011stats/stats.go:79#011error making http request: Get "https://xxxxx.xxxxxx.com:5601/api/status": dial tcp x.x.x.x:5601: i/o timeout

```

below is the kibana-xpack.yaml configuration. What i am missing here?

```auto
- module: kibana
  metricsets:
    - stats
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["https://xxxx.xxxx.com:5601"]
  username: "xxxxxx"
  password: "xxxxx"
  xpack.enabled: true
  ssl.verification_mode: "certificate"
  server.ssl.enabled: true
  server.ssl.keystore.path: "/etc/kibana/ingeststart.pfx"

```

Below is the xpack configuration in Kibana.yaml

```auto
xpack.encryptedSavedObjects.encryptionKey: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456780"
xpack.security.encryptionKey: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456780"
monitoring.kibana.collection.enabled: false
monitoring.enabled: true

```

Hi @PraveenKT ,

What stack version you are using?

At first look configs are good.

You can check yourself following step by step guide [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/monitoring-metricbeat.html)

Hopefully you will find smth missing in your actions.

Best, Dima
