U need to set the certificate authority some the TLS certificate being used by Elasticsearch isn't trusted by the metricbeat host by default. See [Secure communication with Elasticsearch | Metricbeat Reference [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/securing-communication-elasticsearch.html#securing-communication-elasticsearch)

when we enable the SSL in Elasticsearch that time metric beat can't show the data in dashboard.

.###################### Metricbeat Configuration Example #######################

# This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common

# options. The metricbeat.reference.yml file from the same directory contains all the

# supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.

# 

# You can find the full configuration reference here:

# [Metricbeat Reference | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/index.html)

# =========================== Modules configuration ============================

metricbeat.config.modules:

# Glob pattern for configuration loading

path: ${path.config}/modules.d/\*.yml

# Set to true to enable config reloading

reload.enabled: false

# Period on which files under path should be checked for changes

#reload.period: 10s

# ======================= Elasticsearch template setting =======================

setup.template.settings:  
index.number\_of\_shards: 1  
index.codec: best\_compression  
#\_source.enabled: false

# ================================== General ===================================

# The name of the shipper that publishes the network data. It can be used to group

# all the transactions sent by a single shipper in the web interface.

#name:

# The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each

# transaction published.

#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]

# Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the

# output.

#fields:

# env: staging

# ================================= Dashboards =================================

# These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading

# the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the

# options here or by using the `setup` command.

setup.dashboards.enabled: true

# The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL

# has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released

# versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the [artifacts.elastic.co](http://artifacts.elastic.co)

# website.

#setup.dashboards.url:

# =================================== Kibana ===================================

# Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API.

# This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.

setup.kibana:

# Kibana Host

# Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)

# In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: [http://localhost:5601/path](http://localhost:5601/path)

# IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601

host: "10.0.119.220:5601"  
#ssl.enable: true  
#username: "elastic"  
#password: "torrent12\*"

# Kibana Space ID

# ID of the Kibana Space into which the dashboards should be loaded. By default,

# the Default Space will be used.

#space.id:

# =============================== Elastic Cloud ================================

# These settings simplify using Metricbeat with the Elastic Cloud ([https://cloud.elastic.co/](https://cloud.elastic.co/)).

# The cloud.id setting overwrites the `output.elasticsearch.hosts` and

# `setup.kibana.host` options.

# You can find the `cloud.id` in the Elastic Cloud web UI.

#cloud.id:

# The cloud.auth setting overwrites the `output.elasticsearch.username` and

# `output.elasticsearch.password` settings. The format is `<user>:<pass>`.

#cloud.auth:

# ================================== Outputs ===================================

# Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.

# ---------------------------- Elasticsearch Output ----------------------------

output.elasticsearch:

# Array of hosts to connect to.

hosts: ["localhost:9200"]

# Protocol - either `http` (default) or `https`.

#protocol: "https"

# Authentication credentials - either API key or username/password.

#api\_key: "id:api\_key"  
username: "elastic"  
password: "abc1234\*"  
#ssl.certificateAuthorities: C:\ELK IN\kibana-7.14.0-windows-x86\_64\config\elasticsearch-ca.pem

#hosts: ["localhost:5044"]

# Optional SSL. By default is off.

# List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications

#ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]

# Certificate for SSL client authentication

#ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"

# Client Certificate Key

#ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"

# ================================= Processors =================================

# Configure processors to enhance or manipulate events generated by the beat.

If you disable SSL does it work ? that would point to the certificates and where you should investigate.
