I am super new to ealstic , and I followed the instruction (Quick start) to start a fleet server and enroll the policy . It is healthy about 20mins ? But when I restart Kibana , and after 20 mins , it became unhealthy , and requires me add another fleet server . What is happening ? What can I do ? Could really use some help ! ! ![333](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/8/b8e23542809edc6df57fc42faa5796ad5ae82ca1.png) ---

Hi @Intruder, Welcome to the community! Can you share which version of Elastic and Fleet you are using? Can you also share any warning or error messages in the logs? ---

Thanks for sharing. That looks to be a connectivity issue between fleet server and Elasticsearch (401 unauthorized error on the agent). It looks like the communication between fleet and Elasticsearch is blocked somehow. Do you have a proxy configured at all? What security settings have you enabled? ---

I dont have any proxy , all security is default , all I did from download is 1.enroll the kibana token ,kibana-setup 2.login 5601 3.Follow quick start added fleet server and policy 4.Add elastic defend to existing policy 5.Use kibana generate keys and added these stuff ![1234](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/c/cc0bb6af3762df99692ab125e1fc8739c1fcae5b.jpeg) 6.added some rules. Are there something wrong in my steps ? ---

@Intruder it looks like your agent is not able to connect to Elasticsearch. Is you Elasticsearch instance up and healthy? Are you connection settings correct? ---
