After applying all security, If I set the URL of the Elasticsearch instance elasticsearch.url: " **https** ://localhost:9200" in kibana.yml, the kibana browser isn't starting. When using back: elasticsearch.url: "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)" The kibana browser is working. What is wrong? Regards, Sharon. ---

What do the logs say? ---

Which log should I check? The kibana's one? ---
