hi everyone ,  
iam new to elasticsearch  
i have Elasticsearch deployed as pod and iam trying to check the status with a curl command  
i used https  
curl --cacert /root/http\_ca.crt -u elastic:$ELASTIC\_PASSWORD protocol://ip:9200  
it says  
i get  
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not  
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and  
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.

i just took the http\_ca.crt file provided in the container as said in the documentation
