Hello Guys,
It is been a full day since i'm on this problem
I searched everywhere but nothing helps.
I'm trying to install metricbeat, and send some data about apache status.
The installation goes well, i edited the metricbeat config file with the corresponding `cloud.id` and `cloud.auth`, thus it is able to connect to elasticsearch very well.
The problem is when i run the `metricbeat setup` command, it exits on `Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable)` with the following error message:
```
Exiting: fail to create the Kibana loader: Error creating Kibana client: Error creating Kibana client: fail to get the Kibana version: HTTP GET request to /api/status fails: fail to execute the HTTP GET request: Get https://corresponding-url:443/api/status: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers). Response: .
```
When i try to make `curl -XGET username:password https://corresponding-url:443/api/status -I` it works good, and get all the information about kibana's status.
Also, in the log there is a column `:` at the end of url, i don't know if it is normal ?
My metricbeat config file, is pretty simple, as the only fields changed are cloud values, which i copied from the cloud web interface.
I'm on version 6.8.2 for Elasticsearch, Kibana and Metricbeat.
Thank you very much guys about your help !
Cheers
