Start Elasticsearch.  
It's automatically generated by default.

Certificate by default generated are not properly secured.  
When i hit my ip address, its showing that "your connection is not secured".  
Is there any other way to get my SSL???

It's because it's a self-signed certificate.

Have a look at [Security settings in Elasticsearch | Elasticsearch Guide [8.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-settings.html) and `ssl.certificate` to see how to provide your own certificate.
