We enabled security on Elastic recently (6.8). We see a crazy amount of logs with the following stacktrace even though all the requests we observe are using the right credentials. It has filed the docker logs by about 22G already. Thoughts?

Hi @animageofmine,

This part of the forums is usually for security solutions such as SIEM/Endpoint, you might have better luck in another area.

However, looking around I see this thread here:

> [@ssl.NotSslRecordException](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ssl-notsslrecordexception/183655/2):
>
> when you have a http vs https mismatch, NotSslRecordException usually occurs. Check whether the request is https.

That might help you out and point you in the right direction. Good luck ☘

Thanks. I'll post it in another section unless you can move the post to appropriate category.
