As an attempt to secure communications from beats to elasticsearch, I've followed [this "Securing ES with HTTP" part of the guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/configuring-tls.html#tls-http) and as part 4 says, I've followed the readme for kibana by adding these lines to kibana.yml

```
elasticsearch.hosts: ["https://localhost:9200"]
elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: ["/usr/share/elasticsearch/kibana/elasticsearch-ca.pem"]

```

I then restarted ElasticSearch and Kibana but now when I try to enter kibana from the browser I get [Kibana server is not ready yet](https://i.imgur.com/Ey9v1OR.png). This is the log from kibana:

```
 kibana[13308]: {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2020-08-03T09:55:52Z","tags":["warning","elasticsearch","admin"],"pid":13308,"message":"Unable to revive connection: https://localhost:9200/"

```

Just for troubleshooting, in `kibana.yml`, it works if I add

`elasticsearch.ssl.verificationMode: none`

Am I missing something that it can't reach the connection? I gave it the correct .pem. Huge thanks ahead

# EDIT: SOLVED:

All I had to do is change from `https:localhost:9200` to `https:domain.name:9200` in `kibana.yml`
