After running this command

It looks like you've cut that error off just before the interesting part.  
Is there any more info available?

Please don't post images of text as they are hard to read, may not display  
correctly for everyone, and not searchable.

Instead paste the text and format it with \</\> icon, and check the preview  
window to make sure it's properly formatted before posting it. This makes it  
more likely that your question will receive a useful answer.

It would be great if you could update your post to solve this.

The error message is pretty clear, that it can't find the PKCS12 truststore ( You get a `NoSuchFileException` ) and your configuration seems to be wrong. You might have misspelled `elastic-certificates.p1` ( instead of elastic-certificates.p12` )
