Hi @satherev. The first thing that I noticed is that the error says `HTTP GET request to http://redacted:5601/api/status fails` (note `http://`) but you have TLS enabled in `kibana.yml`:

```auto
server.ssl.enabled: true

```

Could it be the `setup.kibana.host` was missing an `s`?

As a second check, are you able to reach Kibana successfully through that URL (i.e. web browser or other way)?

I would also suggest to check out some other similar topics:
