Hello,

I want to monitor that a service is up and running, using the HTTP module of MetricBeat, using the hostname and port for that service. It finds the host IP, but I keep getting the following error:

error making http request: Get [https://hostname](https://hostname): dial tcp hostip:443 connect: connection refused

- module: http  
metricsets:
  - json  
period: 10s  
hosts: ["[https://hostname](https://hostname)"]  
namespace: "json\_namespace"  
port: "8077"  
path: "/"  
ssl.verification\_mode: none  
method: "GET"  
headers:  
API\_KEY: "keyvalue"  
json.is\_array: true

I have tried a multitude of variations, but no luck. Could you advise? Thank you!
