Hello,

I have a cluster with 6 nodes, I would like to encrypt traffic to, from, and within my

Elasticsearch cluster. (ps: **I have basic license** )

What config do I need to do to achieve this?  
version Elasticsearch:6.2.2  
version Logstash:6.2.2

Thank You 🙂

The [basic license does not include security](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions), so I am afraid that is not possible.

thanks for your replay

does exist an alternative to Encrypt Communications in Elasticsearch?
