Hi !  
I am new to Elasticsearch . I tried installing it on Cloud instance all worked well. Until I tird installing Plugin for windows event logs it asked me to add these 2 lines to elasticsearch.yml file -  
xpack.security.enabled: true  
xpack.security.authc.api\_key.enabled: true

After adding these lines I started seeing an error -  
503 - {"statusCode":503,"error":"Service Unavailable","message":"License is not available."}

I discovered and then changed kibana.yml file to elasticsearch.hosts: ["https://:9200"]  
earlier it was http not https

But after this chnage I am seeing the error -  
Kibana server is not ready yet

where as kibana , elasticsearch services are runing and active with no erros.  
Seeing this kibana log .

"@timestamp":"2024-08-26T01:54:52+00:00","tags":["error","elasticsearch-service"],"pid":25284,"message":"Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. connect ECONNREFUSED 157.230.233.177:9200"}

What do you mean by "cloud instance"? Is that [cloud.elastic.co](http://cloud.elastic.co)?

What are the exact commands you ran to install Elasticsearch? What is the version?

I have no experience with that platform. What's the version you are trying to install?
