I have enabled security on Elastic and setup HTTP/TLS for communication between Elastic and Kibana. Elastic and Kibana are now up and working fine with those new changes.
I have just setup the following for Logstash for these new changes in the conf file:
```
ssl => true
cacert => "D:\Logstash\logstash-7.9.2\config\certs\elasticsearch-ca.pem"
```
However, after restarting the service I am still getting the following error in the Elastic logs:
```
`[2020-11-11T12:04:21,632][WARN][o.e.x.s.t.n.SecurityNetty4HttpServerTransport] [SV-MSE-ELTC-001] received plaintext http traffic on an https channel, closing connection Netty4HttpChannel{localAddress=/10.103.186.210:9200, remoteAddress=/10.103.186.203:57493}
```

make sure that you also use https in your output section e.g.
```auto
output {
elasticsearch {
id => "elasticsearch_logstash_filebeat_ilm_dlq"
manage_template => false
codec => json_lines
cacert => "/etc/logstash/certs/elasticsearch-ca.pem"
user => "logstash_internal"
password => "supersecure"
ssl => true
index => "some-nice-index"
# the elasticsearch ouptut plugin will loadbalance :D - IPs obfuscated
hosts => ["https://123.123.123.123:9200", "https://123.123.123.124:9200"]
}
}
```
I hope i didn't miss something - just copy&pasted it and removed a few lines

Hiya, thanks, I forgot to change host from HTTP to HTTPS, however still seem to be getting the same error as before. The output I have is:
```auto
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "https://10.10.10.10:9200"
manage_template => false
index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
user => "${ES_USER}"
password => "${ES_PWD}"
ssl => true
cacert => "D:\Logstash\logstash-7.9.2\config\certs\elasticsearch-ca.pem"
}
}
```

OK, looks like I got Logstash setup to go to Elasticsearch now:
`[2020-11-12T09:05:57,230][WARN][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch][main] Restored connection to ES instance {:url=>"https://logstash_internal:xxxxxx@10.10.10.10:9200/"}`
