The error message:
PS C:\Users\alex\Downloads\winlogbeat\> Start-Service winlogbeat
Start-Service : Service 'winlogbeat (winlogbeat)' cannot be started due to the following error: Cannot start service
winlogbeat on computer '.'.
At line:1 char:1

```
If I comment out ssl.certificate\_authorities ,then works well .
Part of configuration:
#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
output.logstash:
# The Logstash hosts
hosts: ["192.168.248.71:5044"]
# Optional SSL. By default is off.
# List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications
#ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["C:\Users\alex\Downloads\winlogbeat\ELK-Stack.crt"]
# Certificate for SSL client authentication
#ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"
# Client Certificate Key
#ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"
Any advise ?
