Hi All , I am installed ES cluster and Logstash ( Both are 6.3.2) Without TLS in all machines logstash is sending logs to ES . All logs are successfully indexed in ES. ( In this setup xpack is enabled in all ES machines . Logstash is sending logs with ES username and password) When I am enabled TLS in all ES machines in the cluster , Logstash cant send the logs to ES with same configuration. Error Log: [INFO] 2018-10-15 16:20:09.597 [Ruby-0-Thread-4: :1] elasticsearch - Running health check to see if an Elasticsearch connection is working {:healthcheck\_url=\>[https://elastic:xxxxxx@10.0.19.7:9200/](https://elastic:xxxxxx@10.0.19.7:9200/), :path=\>"/"} [WARN] 2018-10-15 16:20:09.617 [Ruby-0-Thread-4: :1] elasticsearch - Attempted to resurrect connection to dead ES instance, but got an error. {:url=\>"[https://elastic:xxxxxx@10.0.19.7:9200/](https://elastic:xxxxxx@10.0.19.7:9200/)", :error\_type=\>LogStash::Outputs::ElasticSearch::HttpClient::Pool::HostUnreachableError, :error=\>"Elasticsearch Unreachable: [[https://elastic:xxxxxx@10.0.19.7:9200/](https://elastic:xxxxxx@10.0.19.7:9200/)][Manticore::ClientProtocolException] PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"} Is it mandatory to enable TLS in logstash to communicate with ES ? ---
