I am trying to get my windows event using winlogbeat on windows 10 and followed all methods of SSL configuration but never managed to get how exactly I could fill in these parameters:
# List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications
#ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]
# Certificate for SSL client authentication
#ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"
# Client certificate key
#ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"
Error I see on PowerShell upon output test:
handshake.. ERROR x509: certificate signed by unknown authority.
Even in the reference, the parameters have Linux directory paths.
Please help me out to achieve this on windows 10. Thank you
I did try following the documentation [Configure SSL | Winlogbeat Reference [7.15] | Elastic] and pasted the .pem content as given under 'Client configuration options' section in winlogbeat.yml file. For example this
To give you a little background, I followed basic security setup guide [ Set up basic security for the Elastic Stack | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic]. Created a ca, generated certificates for http and cert using elastic-certutil. My Kibana setup is working well by defining the output.Elasticsearch.ssl.certificate.authority: , but how exactly should I achieve the same in winlogbeat?
###################### Winlogbeat Configuration Example ########################
# This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common
# options. The winlogbeat.reference.yml file from the same directory contains
# all the supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.
#
# You can find the full configuration reference here:
# https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/index.html
# ======================== Winlogbeat specific options =========================
# event_logs specifies a list of event logs to monitor as well as any
# accompanying options. The YAML data type of event_logs is a list of
# dictionaries.
#
# The supported keys are name (required), tags, fields, fields_under_root,
# forwarded, ignore_older, level, event_id, provider, and include_xml. Please
# visit the documentation for the complete details of each option.
# https://go.es.io/WinlogbeatConfig
winlogbeat.event_logs:
- name: Application
ignore_older: 72h
- name: Security
- name: System
- name: Windows PowerShell
# ====================== Elasticsearch template settings =======================
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
#index.codec: best_compression
#_source.enabled: false
# ================================== General ===================================
# The name of the shipper that publishes the network data. It can be used to group
# all the transactions sent by a single shipper in the web interface.
#name:
# The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each
# transaction published.
#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]
# Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the
# output.
#fields:
# env: staging
# ================================= Dashboards =================================
# These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading
# the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the
# options here or by using the `setup` command.
setup.dashboards.enabled: true
# The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL
# has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released
# versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the artifacts.elastic.co
# website.
#setup.dashboards.url:
# =================================== Kibana ===================================
# Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API.
# This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.
setup.kibana:
host: "http[:]//ip address:5602"
# Kibana Host
# Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)
# In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: http://localhost:5601/path
# IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601
#host: "localhost:5601"
# Kibana Space ID
# ID of the Kibana Space into which the dashboards should be loaded. By default,
# the Default Space will be used.
#space.id:
# =============================== Elastic Cloud ================================
# These settings simplify using Winlogbeat with the Elastic Cloud (https://cloud.elastic.co/).
# The cloud.id setting overwrites the `output.elasticsearch.hosts` and
# `setup.kibana.host` options.
# You can find the `cloud.id` in the Elastic Cloud web UI.
#cloud.id:
# The cloud.auth setting overwrites the `output.elasticsearch.username` and
# `output.elasticsearch.password` settings. The format is `<user>:<pass>`.
#cloud.auth:
# ================================== Outputs ===================================
# Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.

How do I make sure that the SSL handshake completes between winlogbeat and Elasticsearch by defining these inputs?
