Hi all,  
I am trying to install [https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/tree/master/metricbeat](https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/tree/master/metricbeat) helmchart on kubernetes with the following configurations:

```auto
prometheus.yml: |
      metricbeat.modules:
      - module: prometheus
        period: 10s
        hosts: ["10.*.*.*:30048"]
        metrics_path: '/federate'
        query:
          'match[]': '{ __name__ =~".+"}'
      output.elasticsearch:
        hosts: ["https:// ************.us-west-2.es.amazonaws.com:443"]

```

Metricbeat is failing to talk to ES
