As specified in this [Link](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/configuring-tls.html#node-certificates)

We need to copy the node certificate to the appropriate locations.

Copy the applicable .p12 file into a directory within the Elasticsearch configuration directory on each node. For example, /home/es/config/certs. There is no need to copy the CA file to this directory.

Thanks in advance 🙂

FOUND it:

Its in /etc/elasticsearch directory

The older version's directory structure helped:
