Hello 🙂

I would like to have encrypted comunication between logstash and Filebeat. Im using basic license. Since last year is possible to use X-Pack security feature for free .. in my docker-compose es01 I did :  
xpack.license.self\_generated.type=basic  
- xpack.security.enabled:true  
- xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled:true  
- xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.type:PKCS12  
- xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification\_mode:certificate  
- xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path:elastic-certificates.p12  
- xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path:elastic-certificates.p12  
- xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.type:PKCS12  
I was also following this steps : [http://codingfundas.com/setting-up-elasticsearch-6-8-with-kibana-and-x-pack-security-enabled/index.html](http://codingfundas.com/setting-up-elasticsearch-6-8-with-kibana-and-x-pack-security-enabled/index.html)

Could you please help me: some tips or some links  
Many thanks 🙂

@juuuhuuu the x-pack plugin comes by default with Elasticsearch and can be used for secured communication with basic license in place.  
Please refer the official documentation for any sort of configuration and changes on the stack:
