Hi,
I'm trying to connect Filebeat 6.7.2 on Windows server 2019 to ES 6.6 which has a company issued certificate.
I've set verification\_mode to none in the yml, but I get the following error when I try to start the service:
_2019-05-09T16:20:36.744+0200 ERROR instance/beat.go:906 Exiting: Error importing Kibana dashboards: fail to create the Elasticsearch loader: Error creating Elasticsearch client: Couldn't connect to any of the configured Elasticsearch hosts. Errors: [Error connection to Elasticsearch [https://elasticsearch.svc-win.sbx.company.com:443](https://elasticsearch.svc-win.sbx.company.com:443): Get [https://elasticsearch.svc-win.sbx.company.com:443](https://elasticsearch.svc-win.sbx.company.com:443): x509: certificate signed by unknown authority]_
filebeat.yml:
> ```
> output.elasticsearch:
> ssl.verification_mode: none
> hosts: ['https://elasticsearch.svc-win.sbx.company.com:443']
>
> ```
Any thoughts?
