Hi, I have been sitting with this issue all day!

and I get the below error (on windows)

[2023-11-30T21:42:08,979][ERROR][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Invalid setting for elasticsearch output plugin:

  output {
    elasticsearch {
      # This setting must be a path
      # File does not exist or cannot be opened elastic-stack-ca.crt
      cacert => "elastic-stack-ca.crt"
      ...
    }
  }

[2023-11-30T21:42:09,089][ERROR][logstash.monitoring.internalpipelinesource] Failed to fetch X-Pack information from Elasticsearch. This is likely due to failure to reach a live Elasticsearch cluster.

logstash.yml

@Marcus_Berglund

cacert => "elastic-stack-ca.crt"

Perhaps try a fully qualified path to that CA as suggested by error logs.

cacert => "/full/path/elastic-stack-ca.crt"
